An example of a constructivist environment would be
◦ the children in Ms. Franco's 2nd-grade class always take pages of notes and watch their teacher demonstrate science experiments without their assistance or opportunities to try the experiments themselves.
◦ toddlers in the "Sunshine" room at Mr. Christian's child care center are given worksheets to look at that identify shapes during the scheduled shape theme week.
◦ the children in Mr. Delaney's room know that they can experiment with a variety of materials to determine whether they sink or float without worry that their teacher will restrict their curiosity.
◦ Mrs. Shishani tells her students that they must hand their community maps in to her without discussing directions or crossroads with their classmates.
