What are some effective ways to introduce scientific vocabulary to young learners without overwhelming them?

A great way to introduce scientific vocabulary to young learners is by trying to make it fun. Using props like little animals and flashcards with pictures can help and they won't feel overwhelmed because they won't feel that they are learning instead they will see it as a game when in reality they will also be learning.

To help young learners with new science words, teachers can use simple examples from daily life that they already know. Showing pictures, doing fun activities, and saying the words often can help them remember. It’s also good to teach just a few words at a time and ask questions or play games to make sure they understand.

I think some effective ways of doing this are not just to define words but to allow kids to experience them by using hands-on activities. I also think that something like rhymes and songs would be a good way for vocabulary words to stick to them.
