Introduction from the Original Edition
This book is a collection of science experiments that will excite any young learner. It has been developed at the urging of teachers who wanted easy reference to successful science activities. The result is a practical resource that can be effectively utilized with children ages three through twelve. All of these experiments have been tried a number of times. They have been adult tested, kid tested, and will work successfully for you. If sometimes you do not arrive at the expected outcome, try again. This approach is part of being a scientist. The experiments are not our own creation. They have existed for many years and have been drawn from various sources. Primarily, they are ideas that have been shared by other early childhood teachers. When we began our program, our goal was to excite the children in our preschool about the notion of science.
Initially, having an educational background in Liberal Art as do many of our colleagues we felt unqualified to teach science to anyone. When we looked at the children, however, our feelings of inadequacies were soon dispelled. We understood that having a positive attitude about science was far more important than having extensive knowledge. Young children don’t require detailed explanations of scientific principles. They need the same opportunity we offer in all other areas of learning: the chance to experience it first hand. Simply put, they need to do
science.
With that in mind, we set out to develop a program in which the children could be active participants. Through our research and practical experimentation we discovered, much to our delight, that anyone can create an exciting and successful science component. Simple materials and basic ingredients of water, air, candles, vinegar, baking soda, salt, eggs, and balloons are readily available at low cost. As you look through our book, you will see that some of the activities are those that the adults demonstrate; but most are those in which the children take part. Through their involvement they learn basic concepts about gravity, air, fire, and water. But at this early level many of the activities simply appear to be like magic to them. Mostly what we want our children to learn is that science is fun. The philosopher Le Rochefoucauld said, People rarely succeed at anything unless they have fun doing it.
We wish you fun and success in developing or expanding your science program for young children.
