Recording and documenting investigations is important to make processes visible and allow children to go back to the beginning of a change or see a pattern over time. Children are encouraged to notice changes, find patterns, and discover relationships.During open exploration, as a group they build a foundation of common experiences with phenomena and a common language for talking about what they are noticing. Children need both open and focused exploration.Students practice elemental science skills (e.g., predicting, observing, classifying, hypothesizing, experimenting, communicating).Teachers provide interesting experiences and materials to convey key scientific concepts (e.g., weight, light, cause and effect).Taking advantage of preschoolers' curiosity about their world, teachers focus on the uses and processes of science in children’s everyday lives. Pre-K Science is based on developmentally appropriate practices as outlined by the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children).
