The science and nature area is a place to set up experiments, observe and learn about animals, and display collections and special items, such as a snake’s molted skin or an abandoned hornet’s nest. The area allows children to investigate and think about nature and the environment and encourages them to become involved in community projects.
It should be located near windows and the sink. If space allows, this area can include basic materials and supplies for exploring science (for example, tools and items for measuring, weighing, magnifying, examining, and taking apart). Every few weeks, new materials, equipment, and experiments can be introduced to keep interests alive.
