I currently teach in a Pre-Kindergarten Classroom. I have notice children at this age are very interested in science activities and incorporate these into our lesson plans daily. I am also working for my BA in Early Childhood Development and Elementary Education Majors.

Paper Towers: Building students' understandings of technological design

Paper Towers

Currently I am a pre service teacher and taking a teach science class. In class we did this lesson. We used literacy by making a graph on the dry erase board. Had a challenge to make the tallest paper tower using only 3 pieces of paper and a limited amount of tape within 15 minutes. Surprisingly I did not read this article before, but very informational. I was engaged and feel students would be just as engaged.

Great Resource

Interesting. This article included ways to get younger students to think about science through observation, experience, knowledge and revision due to new evidence.
