Scientific thinking is based on something that children have in abundance: curiosity.
The study of life science, earth science and physical science helps children understand the natural world. Early science skills include making observations, making predictions, using scientific tools, and beginning to sort and classify natural events or objects in their environment (such as living from non-living things, mammals vs. reptiles, and so on). Through the acquisition of science knowledge development of scientific thinking skills, children learn to observe the world, draw conclusions and make connections.
