Preschool science projects and activity books provide great teaching resources.
Everybody Has a Body: Children discover the magic of science as they learn about their bodies. Over 140 instantaneous activities and ideas promote skills such as observation, inference and prediction. A vital resource for developing a basic foundation in scientific concepts.
Can you see colors in the dark? Why can some people roll their tongues and not others? Can you swallow something when you are upside down? What noises do the insides of our bodies make? What is the temperature of your finger or knee? Find the answers to these and lots more questions about bodies using the activities in this book. Children will have plenty of opportunities to satisfy their curiosity about the why, what, when, and how of their bodies. Everybody Has a Body lets children find out about themselves firsthand, using their own bodies.
This knowledge is intertwined with pre-science process skills, health information, literature, self-concept, and body awareness. For each activity there is an introduction, a list of words for language development, an age range, a list of things you will need, a description of what to do, and suggestions of ways to extend the activity.
