Kids are scientists from birth Children are naturally curious; they look at the world around them and they develop their own scientific ideas based on what they see and hear every day. As your child matures, their ideas grow from being concrete concepts such as ‘heat is hot', to more abstract concepts such as ‘stars are planets in other galaxies'. Find out what your child already knows about a scientific concept and create opportunities for them to investigate their ideas. Thinking like scientists The most powerful scientific ideas kids have are ones they devel
