I'm interested in getting my first-grader exposed to the gestalt of modern scientific thinking - nonlinearity, dynamics, , , , etc.

I don't have expectations of having specific skills acquired, just in getting a sense of the [Wonders Of The Universe], etc.

I'd like to suggest resources to the science teacher in my kids school. I'm focused on a first-grader for the moment.

I suspect audio/visual/simulation is the way to go.

Though a good story can be helpful - e.g. the [Hotel Infinity]

Other resources:

Watch episodes of The [Magic School Bus]!

[EduWeb] has pieces on history, art, math, , , etc.

film

's free gnarly software (, , etc.)

's and 's [CelLab] software

I wonder whether the software for ' [Blind Watchmaker] runs well on ? (Why isn't this by now?)

's

Reviews of commercial science education software

[IMACS] runs after-school programs in math (using formal-logic) and computer-science (using and !) - but no location near me.

[DASH]/[FAST] are science curricula developed at the [University Of Hawaii] (they run training programs for teachers). You can order teacher materials but they're not cheap! I think being "inquiry-based" puts them kinda in a style...

interesting tool - Inspiration software for [Interactive Whiteboard]-s.
