Science is an important subject that helps young learners benefit in all academic
areas! Young children learn science through active involvement, first-hand, and
investigative experiences. Science is a subject that tends to be neglected in the
classroom. Teachers need to give students of all ages time to manipulate elements
and work on experiments together. It builds upon problem solving skills and
collaborative thinking. I found all of these great tips in the article below! The
apple investigation was found on Pinterest which is a great resource to use for
science ideas!
