Elementary experimenting in the nursery, kindergarten and parent-child groups

Small children like to explore the world around them. They discover, for example, that sand sometimes runs smoothly through their hands, sometimes it is sticky. It is the Nursery school teacher's job to gently lead the discoveries on and help the children put their observations into words. Using a watering can, children experiment with what happens to the sand once it gets wet. Words like "pour", "wet" and "dry" are introduced along the way.This practice-oriented book offers a large pool of ideas for stimulating observations, easy-to-do experiments and age-adequate mnemonic rhymes.
