This presentation is designed for early childhood educators (teaching children ages 0-8) and covers the dos and don’t of exploring science in classrooms, libraries, child care centers, and museums. This PD was developed in collaboration with scientists at a top tier research institute (Indiana University) and early childhood experts at the Association for Science and Technology Centers. This hands-on presentation aims to highlight and deepen the science learning educators already engage in, and share fundamental research-based pillars of science education. Participants should expect to see, test, and explore various arts-integrated STEM experiments and materials they can use in their classrooms.
