Snow Tracks and Traces

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

The focus of this activity is on helping children begin to see that tracks and traces can tell stories about things that have not been seen. Let children describe the different tracks they made in the snow, encouraging them to discuss how each of the different tracks gave clues about what was used to make them. A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
