Bears!? During the past several weeks I have been developing a very special Christmas gift for my daughters. A Discovery box about bears! This discovery box will be a fun and educational gift which should benefit my daughter's problem solving, reading and comprehension and thought synthesis.
The bear box is a hands - on search and discover box on many kinds of bears, and the world they live in. Included are many worksheets and games designed around basic vocabulary geared towards the K - 3 student.
Throughout the development of my first discovery box I can clearly see many levels and degrees of use for discovery boxes. As a technology education teacher I will be able to develop many "mini discovery boxes" for all of our current technology education projects. These Mini boxes will be focused on one of the many engineering, math and or science principles that comprise our projects. (An example would be simple machines as it relates to our engineering of trebuchets and catapults.)
Discovery box building has been, to this point, very rewarding. That said discovery box building is time consuming and addicting. Without hesitation I can say building a discovery box affords you greater understanding of the topic you research , build and discover around.
