Little Scientists: Hands-On Science for Young Learners

Ages: 5-7

What makes a car zoom down a ramp? Can you grow a plant under different conditions? How do you make a shadow grow or shrink? Get ready to experiment, explore, build, and discover! In this hands-on science class, curious young learners will investigate the world around them through exciting experiments and creative challenges. We’ll explore everything from moving objects and mysterious materials to growing plants, changing weather, light, sound, and even building our own engineering solutions. Along the way, students will make predictions, test their ideas, and discover that sometimes the most interesting results are the ones we least expect!

Learning objectives:

• Ask questions, make predictions, and test ideas through hands-on experiments.

• Explore, compare, and classify materials, plants, and other living things.

• Investigate motion, weather, light, and sound through playful discovery.

• Record scientific discoveries through drawings, simple charts, and words.

• Design, build, test, and improve creative solutions to engineering challenges.

• Share discoveries, learn from surprising results, and work together like real scientists!
