What is Science?
Science is the understanding of the physical world, and it can only be explained through observation and exploration. Everything we know about science has been explored, observed, analysed and understood seeing that it repeats always giving the same results (it’s systematic).
Why Do Kids Learn Science?
Because they live in this world, so they need to have a good understanding of how things work, how things transform, and how things are created. This understanding will allow them to be more respectful, considerate, and caring for their environment and also for themselves and others.
How Can Kids Learn Science?
As with anything we learn, there are two teaching techniques. One is by using their memory to remember everything you teach them, and the other one is by hands-on experiences (or, as the curriculum calls it: procedural understanding). When they only remember things without having experienced them, the knowledge won’t be meaningful to them and, therefore, they will forget about it and they won’t be able to apply it in real life. So what’s the best way to learn science: THROUGH THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
The most important thing about this method is that it starts at the exact level of knowledge that each kid has at that specific moment. It doesn’t matter how much they know, or what their skills are. They will all connect with what they know, and start learning from there. This is a really powerful methodology because every single child will feel curious, excited, and motivated to learn.
