Kids are astute observers. They automatically observe, think, and do. In naturally seeking real answers to their real questions kids progress further into the learning process. As a result, they begin to develop science skills such as observing, classifying, reasoning and predicting. I can further promote learning by proving them with investigations and experiments to develop their science skills, which will benefit them throughout their life. The best way for kids to learn science is by doing real science hands-on. They need to know that doing science isn’t just for scientists and engineers. Rather it’s a way of learning about the world that comes naturally to them. Getting hands-on with learning science also reinforces the highly beneficial “inquiry process”. Students start out posing a question to explore, move on to gathering information, interpret their findings, and report their findings. Each of these stages is fluid, not linear, and results in revision after revision. With a hands-on approach to science, instead of finding the easy answers, my students are inspired to ask questions about the world around them and apply this method to solve their own problems.
