Ways of children's science education;

First, contact with nature and broaden children's horizons.

Mr. Chen Heqin, a famous educator, said as early as 1940s: "Nature is a treasure house of knowledge and a living teaching material." The mysterious nature is the best place for children to study science. Let children visit nature in person, make full use of their senses, see, smell, listen and touch, so that children can gain rich perception.

Second, let children discover and explore in planting and feeding.

Children are naturally active and curious, and planting and feeding are activities that children are very interested in. They will actively, actively and happily participate in the activities they are interested in, and their inner learning motivation can also be fully exerted in the activities.

Third, carry out scientific experiments to cultivate children's exploration spirit.

Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a great educator, said: "Action is Laozi, knowledge is the son, and creation is the grandson." In order to give children opportunities to "act" in many ways from preschool, I combine the educational content to let children do some small experiments that are easy to learn and do, which are in line with their cognitive level, cultivate their exploration spirit and make them become ingenious people.
