In-Touch Science: Fibers & Animals

Abstract

In-Touch Science is a hands-on science program developed by the Cornell Cooperative Extension for children in grades 3-5 (aged 8-11). The program helps children -communicate what they are observing and learning -understand the science connection between two fields of study -recognize those science concepts in daily experience.

The ten activities in In-Touch Science: Fibers and Animals let children observe how one science concept relates to both textile science and animal science. This unit encourages youngsters to be more curious about their everyday encounters with fiber products and animals.
