The book features: a focus on young children's learning - what we know from research about how young children learn and the centrality of their early scientific and designing/making experiences to this learning; case studies of successful early years practice in science and design and technology; examples of practice planning for learning, written by early years practitioners; an analysis of the contribution of science and design and technology towards meeting the early learning goals; and advice for adults working in different early years settings. Founded on both research and first-hand experience, this practical and accessible book demonstrates how scientific and designing/making activities are natural to young children and have the potential for contributing to all aspects of their learning.
