Curiosity and Wonder

Show curiosity and interest in the world around them and ask why questions (e.g., “Why is the sidewalk shiny from the rain?” “How come it smells so good in here?” when muffins are baking).

Participate in a discussion about why things happen (e.g., describe why some objects roll and others do not).

Pose what, why, and how questions about the world around them (e.g., ask why some objects move when placed near a magnet, what made the hole in the acorn, or where do ants live).
