Entries from a Staff Developer's Journal...Helping Teachers Develop as Facilitators of Three- to Five-Year-Olds' Science Inquiry.
Moriarty, Robin Friedrichs
Young Children, v57 n5 p20-24 Sep 2002
To support science inquiry in preschools, the Education Development Center in Newton, Massachusetts, developed three teacher's guides to help teachers identify science-rich questions embedded in children's play and use those questions to engage the children in age-appropriate science inquiry. This article follows three Head Start teacher teams as they use one of the guides for the first time. (TJQ)
