Write a report to the management team that outlines the importance of integrating science content, processes and concepts for children aged 0-3 years of age. This report is a useful way to articulate the values and relevance of science in early childhood and primary education.
Include the following headings:
1. Executive summary: a short, clear summary of the whole report.
2. Table of contents
3. Introduction:
•    Introduce issue and outline the key aspects of your report.
•    Include a rationale for why you think science is important in the early years of learning.
4. Key points:
• Include points 1 – 3 outlined in the assessment criteria.
5. Conclusion:
• Short summary of key points.
• Recommendations for the management team about how and why science can and should be included in the early childhood curriculum.
Assessment criteria
1. Summary of importance of teaching science content, processes and attitudes.
2. Inclusion and explanation of science categories (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Environment) with examples of relevant conceptual understandings and learning for infants and toddlers.
3. How science is described in the Australian Curriculum and Early Years Learning Framework (although infants and toddlers are not included within the Australian Curriculum it will strengthen your argument to understand the continuum of science education expectations from birth to Year 12).
4. Depth and breadth.
5. Academic expression
