ABSOLUTELY make time for hands-on science EVERY DAY!!! I couldn't agree with you more! The National Science Board reports that “The recently released Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2003 (TIMS)—an international student assessment conducted in 15 countries and released on December 14, 2004—tells us that American fourth-graders are doing no better in science than they did in 1995. Ten years later, and still no progress has been made with our youngest learners." If the USA is going to keep up with the rest of the world in the area of science then we have to start a love of science early in children's academic careers! If you don't know where to start finding hands-on experiments then do a google search! There are tons of free experiments on websites such as http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiments/ Simple to do and highly effective experiments to get kids thinking scientifically. Thanks for a great post!!!
