Hi Christnah, I recall doing a 'experiment' with oreos where you would remove the inside of the oreo to create the phases of the moon and were able to eat the oreos after. Activities that are age appropriate, fun, and engaging.

I think it is very important for early childhood teachers to include hands on activities to get the students interested in science. Growing up, doing science experiemnts in class was so much fun and I remeber looking forward to it. When it is possible to include either an experiment or an activity with learning is a great way to get students enagged, involved, and begin to love the subject of science.

Creating hands-on activites that students can manupulate which encourages discovery. Also having science themed books in the classroom and reading to them from time to time helps the students gain more intrest in science. The main goal is to make the students feel included and do lessons that grab their attention.

Engaging in hands-on activities is a great way to spark interest in the eyes of little kiddos. Students learn best when they are interacting and participating in a lesson, especially if it is a science lesson. Perhaps you could even have a class pet that you can gesture towards during science lessons to keep the students engaged. You can also put up posters on your walls that are science themed. For the really young kiddos you can use puppets. For instance, you can use a bear puppet dressed like a scientist when teaching science. He can assist you throughout your whole lesson to keep the students interested.

It's really important to ge the students' attention so I will say that doing on hand activies it's a great way to keep students engaged and help them understand the topic in a fun interactive way.

when i think about this as a future bilingual teacher For bilingual students, it would help by incorporating visuals, songs, and dual-language support helps make scientific vocabulary and concepts more accessible. Connecting science to their everyday lives and cultural backgrounds makes learning more meaningful and engaging.

In my view, children resemble tiny sponges, eagerly absorbing every bit of information and experience around them. They mimic our speech patterns, our gestures, and the nuances in our communication style with one another. This innate ability to learn and adapt suggests that children are inherently wired for education; it all comes down to what we choose to teach them. The impressions we leave can shape their understanding of the world in profound ways.
