We have been busy here at AoHC this week with SCIENCE! For young learners, science is just an extension of their everyday world. We don’t have to teach young children to be curious or how to discover because they do it naturally!
Here are a few ways you can encourage a love of science at home!
Ask your children lots of “why” questions. Even if you don’t know the answer, asking the question helps to develop critical thinking skills. It’s not so much that you don’t know the answer, it’s that your child asked the question in the first place.
Encourage children to solve problems. Learning how to find answers is a lifetime skill.
Visit your child’s science class. By visiting the classroom, this shows both your child and the teacher that you are interested in science. If you are unable to personally visit the class, make it a point to inquire about what your children are learning about in science.
