GEMSNET: We believe good elementary science teaching: Engages children in the wonder and study of the natural world; Makes links to technology and the way human beings solve problems and adapt to living; Gives children opportunities to explore how things work first hand through activities and experiences with a wide variety of materials; Stimulates children to wonder, be good observers, make predictions, and offer explanations based on evidence; Helps children construct their own knowledge of scientific principles and concepts, making these an integral part of the way they see the world and make decisions about their lives.
