Science Activities & Thinking Skills

Young children have a natural abundance of curiosity. They enjoy science activities that offer opportunities to learn about topics that interest them, from the earth beneath our feet, to the animals sharing our world, to the universe beyond and even our own bodies. When looking for cool science games, how can you tell if something is age-appropriate for preschoolers? Look for science apps that focus on foundational concepts such as using the five senses to make observations, asking questions to build curiosity, and learning about the animals and the environment around them. Young children especially appreciate game play that includes open-ended exploration or trial-and-error experimentation to stimulate their curious minds.
