The Young Scientist Series: Building Structures with Young Children

By Ingrid Chalufour and Karen Worth

The second installment in the Young Scientist Series, Building Structures with Young Children guides children's explorations to help deepen their understanding of the physical science present in building block structures, including concepts such as gravity, stability, and balance. This nationally field-tested curriculum supports children’s early development of important science inquiry skills such as questioning, investigating, discussing, and formulating ideas and theories through curriculum ranging from exploring and designing structures to building block creations.
