Observation leads to questions — even for the youngest! My Science Log from The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library is a simple download that encourages the youngest to think scientifically.
Page one of this 4-page download is a cover page including name, topic, and date.
The pages that follow include leading questions that a student can use to investigate the topic of interest:
- Ask a Question.
- Make a Prediction.
- Perform a Test.
- Conclude and Reflect.
The leading questions include reference points:
- How will you perform the experiment and measure your data?
- Did the results agree or disagree with your predictions?
- How can your results be connected to everyday life?
Great questions to keep ’em thinking.
My Science Log is a start on a science notebook. It is simple, engaging … and free!
