Tool to Foster thinking: Generate/Classify/Connect/Elaborate routine.

Do an activity with the children using hair dryers, cotton balls and feathers.

Show the materials and ask:
What do you think we are going to do?
What happens if…?
Let them propose the hypothesis.
If they don’t do it, give them time
later to imagine it, suggest one by
modeling how we get to that idea.
We propose the line of
inquiry be: “what will
happen when they are in
contact with the air from
the hair dryer? Which one
do you think will go
farthest, the feathers or
the cotton? What makes
you say that? Which one will go faster? Etc.
Have races between the cottons and the feathers
