Exploring Artifacts & & Operations …
Invite the students to explore different electronic devices. Give enough time so that each one
observes, manipulates, and has time to explore. Grant time so that each child expresses in
different ways what he/she is seeing and thinking about the objects that are presented. After
exploring the objects and the way they function, have them vote and, by mutual agreement,
choose one device in particular and make it work and use the questions from the keys for
thought.
Tool for Thought: I see – Think – Ask Myself / Keys for thought
•

Note: The keys for thought serve as provocation to generate more enriching
conversations with the children. They don´t have to be used separately; they may be
included in the routine for thought I see – think – ask myself as well as in other
routines.
