The guide mentions that "together with young children, through outdoor activities, visits, planting and feeding activities, we can perceive the diversity and uniqueness of organisms, as well as the process of growth, development, reproduction and death." "Find and discover things marked by numbers in your life with children, such as phone numbers, clocks, calendars and price tags of goods." These are opportunities to make full use of nature and real life, and guide children to learn science through direct perception, personal experience and practical operation.

The characteristic of children's thinking is concrete thinking, so we should pay attention to guiding children to learn scientifically through direct perception, personal experience and practical operation, rather than inculcating and strengthening training in pursuit of mastering knowledge and skills. When we carry out science education activities, we should pay attention to let children learn by doing. In the process of operation, our teacher should let the children explore fully, don't impose their own ideas on them, and put them in the position of active development.

Children's science education should not be equal to the previous common sense education, nor should it just add some new contents and hands-on common sense education. Children's science education should be a process of arousing, supporting and guiding children to actively explore and gain experience in using the surrounding material world and its relationship, and also a process of realizing the long-term educational value of being happy and able to learn, which is beneficial to children's lifelong development. Its basic features are as follows. For the sake of children's lifelong learning and development, children's science education should pay attention to children's learning fun and the educational goal and value of learning, emphasize the cultivation of children's intrinsic learning motivation and interest, and develop children's continuous learning ability. This feature of children's science education is to cultivate children's interest and curiosity in inquiry and guide them to understand the practical significance of science.
