Understanding Of Science

Children’s understanding of Science concepts develops in sequential manner Science is said to be a process of finding out and a system for organizing and reporting discoveries. With this being said Science is a broad topic and it teaches and informs you about everything that happens in the world. Thus, children will find it difficult to get over the various topics taught to them in Science since the topic is broad. It will be beneficial for them to have Science taught to them in an organized manner rather than having the work all mixed up making it complicated for them. Children find it best when concepts are transfer to them in very small, logical steps. They tend to gather more information when done step- by- step. Hence, the lesson would

First of all, it is the growing understanding of children’s early thinking and learning. Since Science aids sequential learning, children develop certain skills and attitudes for learning. They realized that they need to use scientific information to make choices that arise on a daily basis, and need to involve themselves in debates about important issues that are related to science and technology. This early science exploration can be a rich context, why? Because children can use and develop other important skills, including working well with one another, having the basic control over both their small and large motor skills, language and early mathematical understanding. Science is not only about topics related to science but integrates every other subject. For instance, in Mathematics the problems may seem to be slightly different from the math done in Science however, if you are excellent in mathematics and acquire the basic problem solving skill, it will not be challenging for you to connect what you have learned in Mathematics and applying it in Science . Instead you will be effective in reasoning and applying yourself where necessary, and you will also have an advantage whereby, the teaching of Science will be more in depth so you will have to apply all that was taught in the different subject areas in order for you to accomplish the task. Secondly, Science fosters scientific thinking resulting in the development of conceptual change in the learner. It differs from the learning of scientific facts in that scientific thinking involves children in the process of finding out. Instead of learning what other people have discovered, scientific thinking leads children to make their own discoveries. Children are naturally curious about the world and want to find out as much as they can. They also want to be the discoverers, the experimenters,
