Science is in... Exploration Cards |
|
An Exploration Card is a fun, non-threatening science activity designed to engage a child and an adult in home-based science learning. Each activity is written to address a child working with an .adult partner. who might be a parent, grandparent, or other caring adult. Each card describes an activity, followed by a few questions meant to encourage science conversation between the adult and child.

An Exploration Card is a single sheet of 8.5 x 11" paper, folded in half preferably copied onto card stock. Most often, teachers send Exploration Cards home as science "homework" assignments that build on what children are learning in school. The topics of our current collection of Exploration Cards correspond to the School District of Philadelphia science curriculum (2005). As a result, the cards address a range of developmentally appropriate science topics for students in K-4th grades. Exploration Cards can also be sent home to complement other curricular areas or to generally encourage child-adult learning.
