Try out one or two tools to explore the world (e.g., look at classroom through a prism, study natural items under a magnifying glass).
Use a variety of tools, such as magnifiers, balance scales, and thermometers, to explore the world and learn how things work.
Use standard and nonstandard tools and technology in pretend play (e.g., ruler, scale, or yarn to measure, rocks to compare weight, cardboard tube to amplify a voice).
