I do agree that curiosity is really important to every student. Raising the students' curiosity can improve their interest and engagement for the class effectively. What's more, the opening classroom culture can be presented by encouraging to ask questions and communicate with teachers and other students. By asking questions, students can not only connect their daily life with the scientific knowledge the learned, and also keep their curiosity and interest in science. It is also a good way to cultivate students' critical thinking, independent thinking and the ability to communicate, I think. In the future, maybe we can design a Science Corner in our classrooms, where it will have a blackboard to write down the related science questions for teachers and students. And everyone will be encouraged to ask and answer questions on the board freely.

This article mainly tells that the teachers can encourage students’ curiosity through supporting them to ask questions. It suggests that the teacher should create an opening classroom culture which allows students to ask questions freely. When the students ask the question, it indicates that they are trying to connect the new experiences with the knowledge they have already known and they want to explore the new information. In that circumstance, the teacher should show a positive attitude and show interest in students' questions, and let students feel that asking questions is kind of favored behavior, so that students can ask more questions. In addition, teachers are supposed to be intentional to extend students’ learning through their words and the way they interact with the students, such as adding new and unfamiliar materials to provoking questions, asking more questions leading students to think in a new mindset and so on.
As an early childhood educator, we all know that students or children, they always like to ask questions. In my future science class, I won't get bored with their questions. On the contrary, I will welcome them to ask questions. At the same time, I will seize every opportunity to inspire them when they ask questions, encourage them to think in new ways, learn new knowledge, and remain curious about the unknown scientific world. Moreover, I want to ask the students questions every day. Maybe I will choose to give them some interesting scientific questions related to what happened recently and their daily life so that they can explore by themselves or with the help of their parents. Those questions are not difficult, the purpose of asking them questions is letting them connect the daily life with science, fostering a long-term interest in science and practicing their ability of inquiry learning.
