Science in Early Childhood

As we present the fourth edition of Science in Early Childhood, we are continually aware of how much science education in early childhood has moved forward since the first edition. While retaining the essential elements of science learning and teaching that inform and guide pre-service and in-service educators/teachers of preschool and early years settings at school, this new edition provides a more expansive collection of topics. More detailed coverage and new chapters include scientific inquiry in the early years, teaching science inclusively, Indigenous Ways of Knowing science, encouraging playful young scientists and science learning through informal experiences. All other chapters have been updated.
