Welcome to Hidden Villa! Did you check for your farm tools?
Your farm tools for touching, smelling, feeling, looking, and tasting are very important for exploring the world around you. Lets learn more about how we can use our farm tools to make observations, ask questions, and make connections.
I Notice, I Wonder…
Lets practice using our prompts!
1. First make observations using, “I notice…”
2. Now lets ask some questions about an object using, “I wonder…”
3. Finally lets pull everything together and make some connections using, “it reminds me of…”
These are the essential tools of a scientist!
