Documenting Early Science Learning.
Jones, Jacqueline; Courtney, Rosalea
Young Children, v57 n5 p34-38,40 Sep 2002
Three principles that guide documentation and assessment of children's early science understanding are: collect a variety of forms of evidence, collect evidence over a period of time, and collect evidence on the understanding of groups of children as well as individuals. Information and insights gained from this process help teachers plan future science-related goals and experiences. (TJQ)
