Our youngest students are incredibly curious and love to uncover answers to their questions. That’s why it is never too early to teach students how to be a researcher.
Kindergarten teachers frequently teach students what it means to be a scientist and how they can engage in scientific behaviors.
This activity connects beautifully with that concept! It teaches children what it means to be a researcher and the behaviors that researchers engage in. It provides them with examples of scientists who are also researchers that they are interested in and connect to.
💜 YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS WILL LOVE THIS ACTIVITY! IT IS ACTIVE AND INTERACTIVE WHILE GUIDING THEM TO ENVISION THEMSELVES AS SOMEONE WHO RESEARCHES.
