Science is not just a collection of facts. It is a way of thinking that includes these components:

• Observing-Help your children notice small details. “What shapes do you see in the spider web?”

• Classifying-Find opportunities for your child to put things into groups, such as sorting socks, their toys, canned goods.

• Predicting-Ask “What might happen if…?” questions and then test them when appropriate. “How long do you think that ice cube will last sitting on the counter?”

• Quantifying-Find everyday opportunities to quantify. “Who is the shortest person in the family?” “Whose bedroom is bigger?”

• Syans se pa sèlman yon koleksyon bagay reyèl. Se yon mwayen refleksyon ki gen ladann bagay sa yo:

• Obsève-Ede pitit ou fè remak sou ti detay yo.. “Ki fòm ou wè nan twal zariyen an?”

• Klase-Jwenn sitiyasyon pou pitit ou pou li gwoupe bagay yo, tankou mete chosèt ansanm, jwèt yo, manje nan ti bwat yo.

• Prevwa-Mande l “Ki sa ki ka rive si…?”poze keksyon epi verifye repons yo lè li aplikab. “Pandan konbe tan ou panse ti kare glas sa a ap rete nan kontwa a?”

• Wè ki Gwosè-Chache sitiyasyon nan lavi chak jou pou w chache kantite. “Ki lès ki pi kout nan fanmi an?” “Chanm ki moun ki pi gwo?”
