There is no better time to explore, get hands on, and messy than during science class! I believe that science, especially for the youngest of learners is a time to ask and answer questions through hands on exploration. Science class allows me as the teacher to be creative in my lessons and guide my students through scientific inquiry based off of their personal likes, interests, and questions.
Science causes young minds to ask questions and to discover the
answers as to how the bugs in our classroom are going to hatch, how long it
will take a plant on or windowsill to sprout, and why their pet at home sheds his hair in the
spring. With hands on actives and guided direction students’ minds are open to
learning and exploring the world around them.
