| Science is a fun and interesting subject for | | | | the same time. |
| kids because it is all around us. Some people | | | | |
| do not realize that science is involved when | | | | Science is also fun because you can mix stuff |
| in almost everything you do such as cooking, | | | | together and make new things. Children from a |
| cleaning, and playing. When these people | | | | young age learn that if you take dirt and mix |
| think of science they probably remember the | | | | water to it you get mud. And the learning |
| classroom and the teachers boring lectures, | | | | does not stop there, as they get older the |
| but the good news is that method is becoming | | | | learn more about combining ingredients to |
| a thing of the past. Science is being brought | | | | make new things. Science allows children to |
| onto television with police dramas such as | | | | make play dough, cookies, slime and all sorts |
| CSI. | | | | of other gross and fun things. Besides the |
| | | | fact kids can just experiment on their own to |
| Most children at an elementary school age | | | | see what they can come up with. |
| want to grow up and be a policeman because | | | | |
| policeman help people and they always catch | | | | Another part of science is animals. Almost |
| the bad guy. To kids this is the best thing | | | | all kids love to learn about animals. Basic |
| in the world, and for us as parents we can | | | | science about animals involves ant farms, |
| not think of a better role model for our | | | | which kids can build themselves with a jar, |
| children than a police officer. CSI shows | | | | some dirt and ants. The best part about ant |
| kids how science is used to solve crimes and | | | | farms is digging in the dirt and trying to |
| catch the bad guys. While kids might not | | | | find the ants. But as kids get older they can |
| understand the exact techniques involved with | | | | take this type of science to another level, |
| DNA and others, every kid knows about | | | | which can include biology and anatomy. |
| fingerprints. Teachers can set up a mock | | | | |
| crime scene and let children lift | | | | For kids science is fun because what other |
| fingerprints and other crime lab techniques. | | | | subject do you get to have all of your |
| At the end the children can solve the crime | | | | questions answered and use your imagination |
| and write a report on who they think did it, | | | | to create things. Science is also filled with |
| how they figured out who did it, etc. This is | | | | wonders about other worlds, such as dinosaurs |
| a fun exercise for children to do and it is | | | | and why they became extinct, outer space and |
| all hands on. | | | | walking on the moon, and solving crimes. |
| | | | Science involves experimenting and most kids |
| Another reason why kids love science is | | | | love to try things to see if they work. For |
| because what other subject do you get to | | | | example physical science can involve dropping |
| learn about outer space. Children of all ages | | | | an egg from a roof top to see if it will |
| are fascinated with the idea about outer | | | | break, or what will drop faster a pound of |
| space and aliens. Outer space is also | | | | feathers or a pound of bricks. By getting |
| interesting because it involves flying in | | | | hands-on kids can figure out these answers |
| rockets and going places that nobody has gone | | | | and numerous other answers, the hands-on |
| before. The whole idea about what if lets | | | | experiments make science even more fun and |
| children use their imagination and learn at | | | | exciting. |
