鼓励思考的感觉。我发现这本书是儿童早期教育教师的一个巨大资源。介绍非常翔实，并且对于教幼儿科学时要考虑什么给出了一个很好的概述。我特别喜欢介绍这部分内容，它阐述了提问的作用和如何在每一个活动中有效地使用问题。作者提出了89个组织良好的动手和探究活动，包含了7个不同领域的科学内容：感官，气象，物理科学，生物，水和水的混合物，种子和大自然漫步。我也喜欢每一个活动允许孩子不仅在课堂上联系科学，而且还有课堂外和科学的联系。每个活动都有一个家庭科学连接，允许家庭和孩子一起参与，了解孩子在教室学了科学的什么内容。作者用评价结果和可能的指标成分指导教师评估学生的进步，以及以“孩子成果开端框架”将他们的进步与八大领域联系起来。这本书可以让幼儿教育工作者为3-7岁的所有儿童提供一个集中发现和探究式的学习环境。所有的活动都是以学生为主体，指导教师提供了一个有趣的，多感官的学习方法。——审查：吉尔伯特洛里（伊诺拉，PA）2009年6月23日

职前教师的一个很好的资源。我教本科层次的职前教育工作者。这本书是一个很好的资源，发展适宜，组织良好。我特别喜欢它包括科学指标和评估的注释的方式。——审查：劳拉安德森（克利夫兰，TN）2008年7月19日

Encouraging a Sense of Wonder. I found this book to be a great resource for early childhood education teachers. The introduction was very informative and gave an excellent overview of what to consider when teaching young children science. I especially liked the part of the introduction that explained the role of questioning and how to use questions effectively throughout each activity. The author provides 89 well-organized hands-on, inquiry-based activities within 7 different science contents: senses, weather, physical science, critters, water and water mixtures, seeds, and nature walks. I also liked how each of the activities allowed for children to have science connections not only in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. Each activity has a family science connection that allows the family to be involved with their children and to understand what their children are learning in science within the classroom. The author uses the assessment outcomes and possible indicators component to guide teachers in assessing student’s progress and to relate their progress to the 8 general domains within the ’Head Start Child Outcomes Framework’. This book allows educators of young children to provide a discovery-focused, inquiry-based learning environment for all children ages 3-7. All the activities are student-centered and teacher guided to provide a fun, multi-sensory approach to learning science. --Reviewed by: Gilbert Lori (Enola, PA) on June 23, 2009

A good resource for pre-service teachers. I teach pre-service educators on the undergraduate level. This book is a great source as it is developmentally appropriate and well organized. I especially like the way it includes the science indicators and a rubric for assessment for each. --Reviewed by: Laura Anderson (Cleveland, TN) on July 19, 2008
