Why does hands-on science power children’s learning?
Learning about the everyday world is as natural and important to young children as learning to walk and talk. Quick and Fun science activities give children opportunities to explore their environment and support learning.
• The inquiry process of science teaches children to ask questions and solve problems.
• The “trial and error” approach of science encourages children to explore without worrying about being “wrong.”
• Quick and Fun hands-on science activities can be done in many ways, so children can be challenged without being frustrated or bored.
• Talking with your children as they do science activities is the best way to help them learn new vocabulary. Children remember these new words because they help them talk and think about interesting things they can do.
Children must be engaged to learn, and children love Quick and Fun hands-on science activities.
