There is so much truth to the quote above. Think about the children in your care. Before the world gets in the way, children are naturally curious about EVERYTHING! One of the best things we can do in the classroom is to let their curiosity guide our lesson plans. When we explore topics in which children show interest, they are more likely to be engaged.

Typically, when we think about the concept of science, we tend to think about experiments and other planned activities. Science for young children is so much more than that! Opportunities to expose children to science are all around us. Sometimes, as educators, we need to take a step back and stop thinking about the different domains of learning only in terms of planned activities.
