The National Association for the Education of Young Children‘s annual conference has plenty of sessions about teaching science to young children, so many that I am going to have to make some tough decisions about which to attend. Fortunately, presenters can upload their handouts to the NAEYC website so I can look there to get a taste of what I miss. The conference is a collaboration with the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI)  so there are even more choices.

If you are going, I hope you will come to the session on science inquiry that I’m presenting with Linda Froschauer, Field Editor of Science and Children titled, “This is What Young Scientists Can Do” on Friday November 5 from 2-3:30pm in Convention Center Room 201 C/D (Session #596 on page 114).
NAEYC members can still join the application to create an NAEYC Science Interest Forum, see earlier 10/19/10 post.
Hope to see you at the conference—this year or in future years,
Peggy
