1st Graders examine their surroundings

Using your senses (video)
Think blocks is a wonderful and simple idea for children in early development to gain a better perspective on how to depend/ understand your senses.   They are designed to teach four essentially important thinking skills: 
(1) Contrasting between similarities and opposites or “distinction making”
(2) Understanding part-whole structures or “systems thinking”
(3) Recognizing interactions, associations, and cause and effect or “relational thinking
 (4) Learning to see things from different points-of-view or “perspective taking” 
This is just another way to make science fun!!!
