Kids love exploring nature while making new friends! Young children are natural scientists, truly curious about the world. Science for young children is not performing an experiment -- it's investigating everything around them. Investigation involves children observing, wondering, predicting, exploring, and explaining what they can and cannot see. In the world of a young child, science can really be found EVERYWHERE!
