When I think of the subject Science, memories of high school physics come to mind - difficult scientific formulas, test tubes and beakers and long calculations, but here you and your children will discover that science is easy! You will find reviews of resources that I have used successfully with my preschoolers and other ideas that will make implementing preschool science activities into your daily life "a breeze"!
“In general, the child’s curiosity for the new is aroused by what he already knows.” Children love to ask questions about all the interesting things they encounter in their environment, so all you need to do is be able to answer their questions adequately for their age level and voila! you are doing science…and where you don’t know the answers, you show them how to learn the answers by finding a person or a science book that can explain it to you. I often think that we do ‘so little science’, yet if you consider all the answers to their questions and the observations that your children can make everyday, we are learning about science and nature all the time…in the kitchen, the bathroom, the garden, the garage, the playground, even the preschool and when we are out and about. The child “gains real understanding of what he observes firsthand.” Raymond & Dorothy Moore, Homegrown Kids
All you need to do is to encourage your children to observe and ask questions about the world around them and most of that will involve science in one way or another. Ask questions that will stimulate your child figure out solutions, summarise or evaluate situations. “These repeated experiences become a part of his store of understanding.” Keep a record of your conversations and observations and you’ll be amazed at how much science you are actually doing! It is a good idea to keep a file or folder for recording of your children's science activities and experiments.
