“Science comes naturally to kids—who doesn’t like picking up leaves or watching a homemade “volcano” explode? Yet it falls to the wayside in many schools. This book has common-sense ideas for getting students to see science in the everyday.”

“Children, particularly in the younger grades, possess an insatiable curiosity regarding the world around them.
Inspiring Young Minds builds on their natural intrigue and challenges their thinking by guiding explorations in developmentally appropriate and engaging ways.
”

“A concrete guide for using research-based principles of inquiry to help children ages 3 to 8 in exploring their world. Thoroughly 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, Inspiring Young Minds is very highly recommended for academic library Teacher Education collections and supplemental studies reading lists.”
