The Exploratorium
presents a preschool science Web site. The materials on this site
were compiled specifically to address how to introduce preschool
age children (ages3-5) to the field of science. Teaching science
to preschoolers requires a different approach than would be used
in the elementary and secondary schools. Young children require
science to be an experiential activity--hands on fun, which is also
educational. The materials available on this site are collected
from the Exploratorium's Learning Studio.
Under the heading of science we have included mathematics, science
and technology, earth science, biology, and the five senses. We
have also created
a Web page of pedagogical information that
includes both print sources and Web sites.
