Digging, Testing and Bubbling

But the end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the beloved community. It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opposers into friends.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, 1929-1968

"Planning for scientific learning requires that we attend to children’s opening questions of interest. Our purposeful effort to connect with children’s interests leads to more attentive investigation and meaningful learning. Adults, both at home and school, with a trained eye and an open mind are able to use a child’s natural curiosity about the world around them as an opportunity to promote inquiry," say Twibell and Harkins in the newest Out of the Box Training Kit Expanding Children’s Capacity for Scientific Inquiry.

"Whether it's digging for worms, testing the flight of a paper airplane, or mixing water and soap to create bubbles, each moment has value in terms of children’s science learning, and especially so when they are partnered with an enthusiastic adult."
