you to participate in the first presentation of our Child Care Webinar Series:
Inquiring Minds Want to Know: Science
for Young Children
Wednesday,
March 19 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT
Young children are curious, excited,
interested in exploring and eager to try new things. Discover ways to encourage
that sense of inquiring through hands-on science activities that are simple,
inexpensive, safe, and very appropriate for afterschool and 4-H club
programs. Learn how to help young children develop problem solving,
critical thinking, and communication life skills.

have the following materials in front of you:
- Small glass of soda pop or carbonated water (2-3

- Handful of kernels of unpopped popcorn (10-15 kernels)
In this session, you will learn:
