Looking at science in a new way, Exploring Water with Young Children focuses children's explorations to help deepen their understanding of water and its properties--including concepts related to water's flow, appearance and effect on objects. The third unit in the Young Scientist Series, this field-tested curriculum supports the early development of important science inquiry skills such as questioning, investigating, discussing and formulating ideas and theories.
