They All Saw a...Reflection!
Exploring and making observations about simple, everyday objects and activities can be a science lesson for your young child. However, if a slightly more structured approach is what you are looking for, check out this story and accompanying activity to get your child looking around for reflective surfaces. They All Saw a Cat by Brendan Wenzel is full of topics for conversation, so need to stop there! Some other things to consider: Ask your child: How do you think the child feels when he sees the cat? How do you think the mouse feels? What makes you think so? The author depicts how the bee sees the cat using only dots. Create artwork using dot markers, hole punch circles, or circular stickers. Research with your child how animals see things. The story Stellaluna by Janell Cannon does a great job describing how bats see in the dark.
