All children desire to understand the world around them. Babies learn to push and pull objects, toddlers love to roll and bounce balls, and young children want to discover if they ca<\/span>n fly if they jump off the playground.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is scientific proof that teaching science at young ages is beneficial for childhood development. Here are just a few.<\/span><\/p>\n

Science Develops Language Skills and Vocabulary<\/span><\/h3>\n

Vocabulary building shouldn\u2019t be limited to those in stories and nursery rhymes but should include all elements of education, such as mathematics and science. These words may seem incomprehensible to young children, but exposure is key just like other vocabulary words. The more scientific vocabulary a child knows, the better he will do in school and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

Science Develops Abstract Thinking<\/span><\/h3>\n

Almost as soon as children can talk, they are asking about how the world works. Why is the sky blue or the grass green? Why does a ball drop but a balloon floats? The answers to these questions are shaping their understanding of the world around them. The more we can teach our children about science, the easier these will seem in school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Science Develops Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills<\/span><\/h3>\n

Children can develop analytical and problem-solving skills through simple experiments. These help children experience scientific theories like gravity or cause-and-effect relationships. Children can then apply these scientific concepts to their everyday lives and playtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Science Develops Curiosity<\/span><\/h3>\n

Children are born curious and want to explore. Science is the perfect avenue to learn more about the world around them. Fostering a child\u2019s curious spirit through science will benefit them for the rest of their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
