Put an object in a bag and ask the children, “I wonder what is in the bag? Ask me questions to find out.” For example, the children may say things like, “Is it soft or hard? Is it a ball? Is it from the block area?” Guide the children's questions by saying, “Would it help to know what shape it is? What questions can you ask to find out?”
