I generally follow Ted's approach, but I also really like the book What
is a Scientist? by Barbara Lehn  She shows kids of this age doing
science, but in the framework of the habits of mind of a scientist.
Science is an abstraction, a scientist is concrete.  My 6-year old loves
this book.  Even if you don't use this book in your work, you might want
to buy a copy and give it to a K-1 teacher near you.
