Science steps in. Natural science knowledge for preschoolers

Abstract

How a person’s affinity for natural sciences will be depends significantly on what experiences they have in their early childhood. Is it possible to teach science to preschoolers? Yes, if we do it playfully. Small children are generally very open to experimentation and playful exploration. They are happy to set up hypotheses, which are confirmed or refuted by the experiment carried out. In our article, we present experiments and games related to natural sciences and mathematics, which can be adapted to the requirements set out in the kindergarten education program.
