In this book an active approach is taken to find out about the properties and uses of water. Children are encouraged to ask questions and formulate ideas which they then test out. It asks where does water come from? What do we need it for? How does it behave?
The aim of the Science Explorers series is to introduce children to ways of observing and classifying materials, so that they can discover the various properties which make them suitable for a range of uses. By talking about what they already know about materials from their everyday use of different objects, the children will gain con dence in making predictions about how a material will behave in different circumstances. Through their explorations, the children will be able to try out their ideas in a fair test.
