I totally agree with this from a parents point of view and a teachers point of view. My own children love coming home with an experiment to do for homework and when we had Science week in school my Junior infants couldn’t wait every day for the experiments – they loved predicting what was going to happen and then waiting to see were they right or not. Children love inquiry based learning and experiments lend themselves to playful learning naturally. Children learn so much from play and are the experts in play.!
