Teaching Science and Technology in the Early Years (3-7) by Dan Davies

This essential guide for early years practitioners and teachers celebrates young childrens amazing capabilities as scientists, designers and technologists. Research-based yet practical and accessible, this book demonstrates how scientific and designing and making activities are natural to young children, and have the potential for contributing to all aspects of their learning.

"I found the chapter on documenting childrens learning stories to be very helpful, along with the updated examples of practical planningIt is a book that reassures you that children are natural scientists, investigators and explorers, and that it is simply a case of us capturing those experiences, the evidence of learning through play and setting up the irresistible and provocative experiences to scaffold and build on their current knowledge." - Martine Horvath, eye magazine
