Why Science?

 

Babies and toddlers may not understand science and ecology, but they are fascinated by what they see, hear and feel.

A toddler's natural curiosity makes it easy to introduce science concepts during everyday activities. Science starts with understanding concepts that develop as early as infancy. One of the first scientific process's is Observation which uses all the senses. Babies explore the world using their senses. They look, touch, smell, hear, and taste. Infants are curious and want to know everything about their environment.

 

In the early formative years of their life, toddlers learn different aspects of the whole new world through his bumps, falls, discoveries, relationship and myriad other activities. While toddlers are picking any object they are developing an image of what the object looks like and try to discover other essentials of that particular object. These discoveries become part of their enquiring mind and stimulate his drive toward mastery and accomplishment.
