Science in the early years curriculum is often underrated and overlooked. We may have a nature area, do volcanoes in the sandpit and do the odd science experiment sometimes. But there is so much more that we can do with science if we only knew how.
Today I am joined by the vibrant author and science teacher Rachel Rohloff to talk about her books and also how we can create exciting science learning opportunities in the early years environment.

We also have an online course with Rachel "How to bring science alive in the early years curriculum.

The Living World - By Rachel Rohloff

In this fun and educational book, author Rachel Rohloff shares her passion and expertise aimed at getting young children excited about science. The Living World teaches scientific skills, key scientific vocabulary and explains the living world: with a focus on plants, animals and people. Divided into four chapters: What is the living world, plants, animals and people; each chapter includes a short introduction and is made up of two or three topics with two or three general learning outcomes and lots of hands on activities and project ideas for children. The book also offers extension ideas for those who want to learn more.
