题目内容:
Kids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.
Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm,yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play,but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books,long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words.
What a tragedy!We had their attention,they were listening,they were participating,they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.
We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念).Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching,they are completely into the learning.
My boys built a small 9hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.
If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9hole golf course,it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something,I try to relate it back to something they have built,experienced,or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know.
An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.
