[Leer] (Epub) Tinkering: Kids Learn by Making Stuff

By Curt Gabrielson

After-school and out-of-school programs?as well as home schooling?have been

growing steadily for nearly a decade, but instructors are still searching for high-

interest content that ties into science standards without the rigidity of current

classroom canon. The author draws on more than 20 years of experience doing

hands-on science to facilitate tinkering: learning science while fooling around

with real things. In this book, you'll learn:Tinkering techniques in key science

areasHow to let kids learn science with hands-on tinkeringEngaging techniques

for science learning at home, in school, or at a makerspace or libraryStep-by-

step instructions for activities that don't end with a single project, but that

provide many paths for "tinkering forward".
