Welcome to "Developmental Stages of Scientific Inquiry in Preschool Education," a comprehensive 9-week course designed to empower early childhood educators, preschool teachers, and child development professionals. Young children are natural scientists, constantly exploring, questioning, and making sense of the world around them.

Welcome to "Developmental Stages of Scientific Inquiry in Preschool Education," a comprehensive 9-week course designed to empower early childhood educators, preschool teachers, and child development professionals. Young children are natural scientists, constantly exploring, questioning, and making sense of the world around them. This course provides you with the foundational knowledge and practical strategies needed to nurture that innate curiosity and guide it into structured scientific inquiry. Throughout this transformative journey, you will dive deep into the renowned 5 Es Instructional Model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—tailored specifically for 3 to 6-year-olds. We will explore how to seamlessly integrate biological, physical, earth, space, and chemical sciences into your daily classroom activities using safe, age-appropriate, and highly engaging methods. Beyond just theory, you will learn how to design inspiring indoor and outdoor inquiry environments, integrate science into broader STEAM initiatives, and utilize pedagogical documentation to make children's learning visible. You will also discover how to authentically assess early science skills, engage families across diverse cultures, and introduce modern concepts like digital tools and sustainability into early education. Whether you are setting up a messy play station with earth materials or exploring the cosmos through simple visual aids, this course will equip you with the confidence to become a reflective science educator. Join us to transform your preschool classroom into a vibrant laboratory of discovery and lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of science in your young learners.

            <p>Scientific inquiry in the early years is not merely about teaching facts; it is about nurturing the innate curiosity that children aged three to six naturally possess. This course explores the foundational principles of early science education, beginning with comparative frameworks and the adaptation of the scientific process for young learners. Central to this journey is the 5 Es instructional model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—which provides a structured yet flexible roadmap for educators to facilitate meaningful discovery. By understanding the developmental stages of inquiry, educators can transform everyday moments into profound learning opportunities, helping children articulate their observations and deepen their understanding of the world around them.</p>

<p>Beyond theoretical frameworks, this curriculum delves into the core domains of science, including biological, physical, earth, and chemical sciences. Participants will learn to guide children through the categorization of the living world, the mechanics of forces and motion, the sensory properties of earth materials, and the basics of chemical changes through safe, hands-on exploration. The course also emphasizes the importance of the learning environment, from designing indoor science corners to leveraging outdoor nature pedagogy. Finally, the program addresses the critical roles of pedagogical documentation, authentic assessment, and the integration of technology and sustainability, ensuring that educators are equipped to foster a holistic, inclusive, and reflective scientific community within their classrooms.</p>
