What it does
When young children keep asking about the same thing, like worms, shadows or bridges, you get a project plan that grows from their questions. Instead of a fixed unit, it starts from what you saw and heard and moves toward deeper inquiry. You describe the interest and what you have noticed: their questions, theories, drawings and experiments. The skill turns those into possible directions, then suggests ways children can explore through building, drawing, talking and trying things out. It plans how you will record their work, how you will ask questions that push thinking, and how families or the wider community can join.
