- Kids want to be active problem solvers.
- Investigations that have just a touch of magic to make kids say”WOW!”
- Easy to understand investigations with bite-size pieces of information.
- Information that is age appropriate.
- Real World investigations–
- Explorations that have that …….“ah- ha!” response.
- Anything kids can make happen themselves.
