What’s inside a carrot? Will it sink or float? Preschoolers can investigate questions like these as they explore carrot colors, plant parts, and growth through pictures, taste tests, and hands-on STEM activities. Each discovery gives children something new to observe, compare, and discuss.
For teachers, the posters make it easy to introduce a topic before moving into an investigation. Choose a quick science-center activity or build a longer garden study, then use the recording pages and booklet to help children share what they found. A delicious science unit for your preschool classroom!
