Ask an Expert
A project is an in-depth investigation of a topic that is interesting to children. Projects involve hands-on investigation, finding the answers to questions, reading about the topic (or being read to), visiting sites or places, and talking to other people (adults and children) who know something about the topic. Projects also involve documentation—collecting information and preserving the experience by writing about it, taking photographs, or videotaping. This Ask an Expert discussion is related to doing projects at home. Read answers to questions such as, “How is a project different from the kinds of things I worked on at home as a child?” “How do you select topics for projects at home?” “What are the benefits of parents doing projects with their children at home?” “Are there some ways that doing project work at home will help my child be better prepared for school?” “Are there any special materials or equipment that I should have handy when doing projects at home?”
