		Early Program Science… The study of science in the Early Program classrooms begins with phenomena that appear in the child's own environment. Long before a concept is introduced, direct, sensorial experiences with the world around them are provided for the children, encouraging the curiosity that will eventually lead to understanding. An important goal of the program is to foster an awareness of all living things, and their relationships to each other and to the environment. The curriculum is very flexible, and a lesson will often stem from a question or object brought to school by a child. At other times, the teachers will provide an experience and arouse the children's curiosity using hands-on materials of their own choosing, such as classroom animals, plants and magnets. Full day Early Program students have science class once a week in the classroom. At this time, more directed scientific experimentation and exploration is available to them on topics such as. use of the senses, nutrition, living and non-living things, animals and plants, weather, the Earth, astronomy, physics, and experimentation.
