Tinkering: kids learn by making stuff

 

Curt Gabrielson draws on more than 20 years of experience doing hands-on science to facilitate tinkering: learning science while fooling around with real things. In this book, you'll learn:

  • Tinkering techniques in key science areas
  • How to let kids learn science with hands-on tinkering
  • Engaging techniques for science learning at home, in school, or at a kids club or library
  • Step-by-step instructions for activities that don't end with a single project, but that provide many paths for "tinkering forward".
