  7. Intentional Materials

  8. Daily Routines

  9. Intentional Assessment • Before the Body Works Investigation • After the Body Works Investigation

  10. Selecting Topics for Investigation • Is the topic worthy of study? • Does it follow the children’s interest? • Can children engage in inquiry? • Is it novel? • Are there hands on authentic materials? • Can it support all content areas and developmental domains? The Apple Experiment

  17. A Study of Fabric Standards Addressed Science: Explores objects and materials; Describes, compares, sorts, and orders, Records observations; Recognize properties of materials. Motor: Coordinates use of hands/fingers to perform tasks. LA: Uses language to express observations; Uses drawing to support language; Uses nouns to describe; Prints letters in own name. REL: God created our world and provides for us.
