It's the only way to teach science!
Our current kit is "Wood and Paper" and has an underlying theme of change (i.e. wood can be changed into furniture, paper, etc.).
Before we started our experiment for the day, we reviewed the concept, citing how the weather changes, seasons, leaves on tress and so forth. Then, one of my first graders asked, "How come everything in nature changes?"
It was one of my favorite 'thinking moments' of the year. I love when the kids have those little discovery/connection moments, don't you?!
