Level Up Your Preschool Science Center
 
Episode Summary
Is planning and changing out your preschool science center hard for you?
Do you struggle to find activities and materials that children can use both independently and keep them engaged?
If so, then this episode is for you!
For many, many years my science center was kinda blah.  There weren't many materials to put in the center and children would hop in, touch some things and hop back out.  
Depending on the science topic, the popularity of the center varied - but more often than not, the children just weren't engaged.
After mulling this over and talking it through with my bestie teacher friend, we both came to the conclusion that the center might be just too open-ended. Find out what we did to level up out science center!
