3 Outline 主要内容 Elephant toothpaste demonstration大象牙膏 演示
Science through inquiry 科学在不断探索中 Science in our everyday lives (hands-on activities)生活中的科学（动手实验） Parent support（家长支持） Resources（资源分享）

4 Elephant toothpaste 大象牙膏演示
Turn to the person next to you and 转向你身边的人 1. Make three observations:做三个观察 (something you use your five senses for: see, smell, taste, touch, hear)看，闻，尝，碰，听 2. List two safety precautions that were taken 列出两个采用的安全防护 3. Identify two pieces of scientific equipment used 识别两个使用的科学仪器

5 Misconception: 错误观念 Science is a collection of facts 科学是事实的收集
Correction: 更正 Science is both a body of knowledge and the process for building that knowledge 科学是知识和构建知识的过程的总和

6 Science: hands-on learning 科学：动手探究
Science is about what you do and how you think, as well as what you know. 科学是有关你做什么，你是怎么思 考的，以及你所知道的。

7 最初教学：电在电路中流动 通过他自己的探究，他学到了：电压，酸碱，酸碱度，不同种类的灯泡，不同种类的金属等。

8 For example, in a unit about electricity, a student asked about batteries. The teacher gave the child a book about batteries. In this book, there was an experiment. The child brought it home and did the experiment. Then another and another and another. The parent provided the materials. He asked question upon question. He questioned his mistakes. He questioned what if there were more lemons. He questioned what the voltage of a lemon was. He would not have been able to learn or retain this much material if it was teacher/parent driven. It all started with a child being curious about something and lead to so much scientific learning. 例如，在电的单元，一个学生问有关电池的问题。老师给孩子一本关于电池的书。在书中，有一个实验。孩子把书带回家做了这个实验。然后一个接连一个的实验。家长准备了实验材料。他问了一个又一个的问题。他质疑他的错误。他疑问如果实验中有更多的柠檬，每个柠檬的电压是多少。如果是老师或家长驱动，他不会学习或保留这么多的材料。这一切都始于一个孩子的好奇心，才导致如此多的科学学习。

9 Science Activities 科学实验
Please rotate through the various stations:请在不同桌依次做实验 pH (cabbage indicator)白菜指示 Liquid stacking (density)液体叠加 Motion sensor运动传感器

10 Science in everyday life
生活中的学科 Use your child’s questions and wonderings as a platform for the child to learn and become interested in science. 以您孩子的问题和疑惑作为平台，让孩子 学习，并对科学感兴趣。

11 Why does it look like my cup is sweating?
为什么我的瓶子看起来出汗？ Why does it look like my cup is sweating? Why does that rock look like it has lines in it? 为什么我的挫伤先变紫再变黄？ 为什么岩石看起来有线条？ Use your child’s questions and wonderings as a platform for the child to learn and become interested in science. Why does my bruise turn purple and then yellow?

12 Parent Support 家长支持 Provide them the tool and the materials to be able to inquire further and answer their questions. 向孩子提供工具和材料以便他们继续探索，解答他们的问题。

13 向孩子问更多的问题 孩子：为什么青蛙有橘色的点？ 家长/老师： 你为什么认为青蛙有亮点？ 其他动物有亮颜色吗？ 你觉得这些动物有联系吗？
你还发现青蛙有其他特点吗？
