Webinar Description

In this hands-on (but virtual) workshop, we will explore diverse strategies to support science learning for young children?both inside the classroom and beyond. Designed for Pre-K and Kindergarten educators, this session highlights developmentally appropriate ways to incorporate science across the daily schedule, from morning routines to outdoor exploration. Participants will engage with a variety of engaging activities that promote curiosity, observation, and investigation using simple materials and real-world contexts. Whether indoors or outside, educators will gain the tools and confidence to create rich, inquiry-based learning experiences that spark children?s natural wonder about the world around them.
