๐Ÿ” What do curiosity, hands-on learning, and the scientific process have in common?

Theyโ€™re all part of learning with Muddy Sneakers! ๐ŸŒฟ We use an inquiry-based approach that encourages students to ask questions, investigate, analyze data, and discover answers for themselves. ๐Ÿงช During our Matter program, students put this approach into action by building nests to explore conductors and insulators. Using a cup of hot water as their โ€œegg,โ€ students observe changes in temperature to discover which materials do the best job of keeping their nests warm. ๐Ÿฅš๐ŸŒก๏ธ By making observations and drawing their own conclusions, students arenโ€™t just learning science concepts. Theyโ€™re thinking like scientists! What would you use to build a nest that keeps an egg warm?
