Tools for Young Scientists

Here is a list of the basic tools children need to explore their world.

• Their senses – eyes, ears, fingers, noses, and sometimes their mouths
• Magnifying glasses
• A scale
• A timer
• A ruler and/or a measuring tape
• Access to nature and man-made objects
• Their imaginations

Everything else is an extra.

So gather these up and get ready to explore the environment with your children.
