• Choose four of the criteria for developing concept explorations. Explain why these are important.

• Discuss how you can create an environment for young children that promotes using the five senses.

• How can the five senses be incorporated into everyday learning environments?

• Using a website of your choice, search for a picture book that is developmentally appropriate. Once you find an appropriate book, create three science centers, and be prepared to share the centers during Seminar.

Select a valuable science learning station similar to the ones in your text that you can implement in your classroom and include a description of the station.

Your description should:

• include the age group the activity is geared to: 0-4months, 5-12 months, 2-4 years old, or 5-8 years old

• share what the students will do at the station and what you expect them to learn

• discuss how to create environments that capture the curiosity and interest of young children and how to incorporate the five senses

• Share how you would prepare engaging explorations that focus on different science topics. What are some ways to find out the children's interests?
