[TBD]Inducing passion for science in Kid

Introduction

Laymen explanation

Most of us will wish that their kids should excel in science subjects of higher classes (10+2). Do you think that content of these books was unknown to kids until he grows up. Interestingly, most of these contents are from real life. Imagine that your kids start interacting with real life from childhood. In this case, these courses will be so intuitive that he will not only get good marks, rather he will be able to invent and contribute.

Technical explanation

In the book, “The Art of Scientific Investigation,” W.I.B. Beveridge wrote, “The most important instrument in research must always be the mind of man.” The use of scientific thinking helps us make sense of the world.

Scientific thinking skills include observing, asking questions, making predictions, testing ideas, documenting data and communicating thoughts.

Must to have mental strength

When encountered with a problem, we should be knowing which skills to utilize, the manner in which to use them and how to work through a process in a logical fashion. As such children progress into adulthood, using scientific thinking truly becomes an art for them.

What Elders can do

As parents and educators, we can model scientific thinking and provide opportunities for young children to experiment, explore and engage in science play and practices in order to build a solid foundation for future application of the scientific inquiry process.

Tips

• • Share in their(kids) wonder

  • Ask open-ended questions to kids and encourage questioning

  • Document discoveries as pics/video. Revisit these works of art and retell the story of the adventures you shared together in creating them.

  • Provide materials to kids that provoke new ideas and experimentation

  • Build connections within your local community. Outside programs can supplement and help young children build connections to the learning taking place at home or in the classroom.
