Five Principles of Preschool Science Education
According to the characteristics of children, children's science education should be based on experiments instead of just imparting knowledge like adults. Childhood is a critical period of development. How to seize this critical period, educate children scientifically, meet their psychological needs of exploring the world and seeking knowledge, cultivate their scientific spirit and improve their scientific literacy are the contents and goals that kindergarten education should consider.

Life principle

Scientific education for young children should be closely related to their real life and conform to their living environment, age characteristics, cognitive structure and experience background.

Principle of interest

When designing scientific experiments, children's interests and needs should be fully considered, which can stimulate children's interest in science. Interest helps to improve the enthusiasm and initiative of individual exploration and lay the foundation for the effect of activities.

Open principle

Children's scientific experiment is an open system. We should create an operating environment for children to experiment and learn by themselves and give them clues to explore, but we can't directly specify the direction of exploration, encourage children to generate various ideas and allow them to draw different conclusions.

Integrity principle

The experiment should pay attention to all children, so that each child can clearly perceive the experimental process and experience the magic and charm of the experiment. In scientific experiments, different contents, objectives and activity forms in the scientific field are organically combined with the other four fields.

Safety principle

The principle of safety is the most important principle, that is to say, the designed experiment should ensure the physical and mental health of children. Do a good job in the inventory of experimental equipment, do a good job in the early stage of operation, take into account any dangerous factors, and ensure the classroom order during class.
