Science and social studies can seem very abstract to early childhood students. Because of this, it is important for early childhood educators to model and teach effective questioning and observation techniques as integral parts of inquiry-based learning and discovery. This education begins by creating a classroom environment where the students can ask questions, make observations, and explore the world around them based on their own curiosities.
Based on your own research, select a digital tool or other appropriate strategy to design a classroom map that encourages inquiry-based learning in both science and social studies for young children within your selected grade. Consider how classroom visuals, resources, and materials can be placed in the classroom environment to support science and social studies during daily learning. Label your map to include materials, furniture, and other visual wall design elements that foster an inquiry-based learning environment focused on science and social studies.
As you design your classroom, consider the following:
Classroom layout (desks and/or tables, carpet/floor space, chairs, etc.)
Resources and technological tools, and where they will be located.
Traffic flow consistent with age-appropriate physical and social development.
Learning centers (layout, cooperative and independent, considerations for all learning styles and abilities, inclusivity, etc.)
Storage and display furnishings (tables, chairs, shelves, etc.)
Write a 500-750 word explanation of the classroom map that answers the following:
What is your rationale for choosing and arranging the objects in the learning environment (consider wall décor and floor space)?
How do you foster diversity, openness, creativity, and a social interactive learning environment in your classroom?
How does your classroom design encourage inquiry, discovery, active problem solving, and making real-world connections for the students?
How does a well-designed classroom environment help focus attention, engage students in the curriculum, and provide options for meeting individual interests and learning needs?

The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this case are fictitious. No identification with actual persons, robots, products and businesses is intended or should be inferred.
Maggie McLaren (CEO) had significant experience launching consumer brands and experiences and, having graduated from Redtree Graduate School of Business in 1999, she was excited to launch her own business. Right before graduation, she partnered with Craig MacCallion (CTO), a mechanical engineering student from a nearby state school with passion for robotics, to launch a unique venture.
Launched in 1999 and emerging from stealth mode a year later, Maggie’s Mechanical Magic Spa (“M3 Spa”) raised several million Dollars with the promise of bringing tech and automation to the spa business. The risks were many and obvious, but the promise of scalability and efficient operations was too hard for top Silicon Valley investors to ignore.
M3 Spa’s launch strategy relied on rapid national expansion with traditional massage venues to build their brand while, at the same time, developing their first generation of robotic massage therapists (Craig insisted on naming them ‘Therabots’) which would be introduced to their many locations later on.
Despite a rocky first few years, the two founders were able to ramp up growth and reach over 1,500 locations nationwide and Billions in revenue a decade after launching. Initially, the company offered three traditional services – the Full Body Massage, the Eye and Scalp Treatment, and the more niche Prenatal Massage, all delivered solely by human massage professionals.
Development of the Therabots was also slower than initially anticipated and only in 2019 was the company finally able to roll them out. To do so, M3 Spa launched another new product – the Foot Scrub which, for the first time, was delivered exclusively by the company’s Therabots

with no human touch. After an initial roll out period to all the branches and with the Covid-19 pandemic hitting in early 2020, the mechanical massage was an immediate hit and the Foot Scrub became one of M3 Spa’s most popular offerings.
Encouraged by the success, the board pushed Maggie to deploy the Therabots to the company’s other offerings. However, as Craig’s team explained, it’ll take at least a few more years to adjust the robots to properly deliver other types of treatments and to acquire the required regulatory approvals. Other ideas for generating growth were needed.
In a recent executive informal chat, Maggie suggested that hot stones sessions could be a success in this pandemic era. She added that this would be an easy offering to launch and could be out in the market by January 2022. Craig suggested to not launch anything new since growth has been healthy, and invest all resources in accelerating the Therabots development. Katja Wolff, the company’s Executive Vice President of Strategy, listened quietly to the debate thinking that there has to be a better, data-driven approach to answering this question.
The following day, Katja asked you, her team’s top performer, to take a quick stab at an analysis for an upcoming strategy team meeting where you’ll discuss the options ahead. If your analysis is solid, she said, you’ll be invited to present your work to Maggie and Craig and potentially the board later.
She asks that you take a look at some data (download here) and create a short deck to walk everyone through your findings. Consider the following questions:
● We’ve grown nicely between 2020 and 2021. What has been the primary driver (or drivers) of growth in this period?
● What are some areas of concern you can identify, if any?
● Based on historical growth and assuming we don’t launch any new offerings – what can
we expect growth to look like through 2024? Please clearly state your assumptions. ● Using all the data at your disposal and your answers to the questions above – would
you recommend we launch the new hot stones offering? How if at all would your recommendation change at different potential price points?

As teams progress, they pass through stages of development. You understand that being prepared with tools and techniques at each stage is important. There is a team forming that will take on a production line. You want to be ready to provide training and development resources for this team as soon as they start working together.
You research various team-development models and pick one model that you will use to determine team-building activities before the team members start working together. Develop a plan that addresses the following:
What will you do to prepare the team for working together before they start?
Discuss the training and development activities that you will use to build trust and productivity in the group once they start working together.
How will you measure whether trust exists within the team?
How will you measure the effectiveness of this new team in each of the early stages of 3, 6, and 9 months of them working together?

Choose a place in which you will observe people in a public space such as a park, a station, a bus stop, a supermarket, a restaurant, a bookstore, or a café, for example. (You will observe people at your home next week.)
Observe and take notes about what is happening and what people are doing for 30 to 60 minutes at the site that you have chosen. (Do not become an armchair anthropologist.)
Going back to your fieldnote to see what information you have in your fieldnote. Remember, anthropologists try to understand culture holistically. If you conduct your fieldwork at a bus stop in your hometown, for example, you may consider what types of people are using the bus system and why, the type of neighborhood you are in, the historical aspects of your chosen fieldwork site, and perhaps how racial and socio economic aspects of our society are intertwined and reflect on the availability of types of transportation, and how that affects people’s lives, for instance.
