In-Touch Science: Foods and Fabrics
Ten experiential activities demonstrate the common science concepts between the two fields of study & help children understand the science in their daily lives. The program encourages each child to manipulate materials, to test ideas, and to explore their interests. Evaluation is by a pre- and post test of children and observation by the adult facilitator.
