This article from NAEYC is all about creating the right kind of classroom environment, routine, and practices that encourage children to think about science. Since science is really a part of our everyday lives, there are plenty of opportunities to bring it into the classroom, but teachers need to be active facilitators, asking open-ended questions, using science vocabulary, and building on children's natural curiosity.
