How To Make Science Interesting For Kids

We all remember field trips in school. Filed trip were fun-filled and we did not have to attend classes or pay attention to studying. However, we never realized that these field trips were conducted to provide practical education in a fun way. Trips to the museum, planetarium, wildlife sanctuary, factories, companies, villages, orphanages, or old age homes had their purposes. Field trips conducted by schools are meant to encourage children’s interests outside of books and beyond the boundaries of the classroom. However, though schools conduct field studies to increase practical exposure for children, individual interests or doubts of each child cannot always be addressed by teachers. They can provide the academic foundation, but parents need to take over from where teachers cannot go beyond. Especially when related to complex subjects such as science, parent's intervention and encouragement has a strong influence on a child’s exposure to knowledge. This in turn will influence the child’s perception and many decisions he /she will make in future.
 
Each child has various questions depending on age and interests. To make a child understand complex subjects in science, parents could use creative and practical methods and experiments to provide better understanding. Apart from taking kids to a local science museum or planetarium, parents could encourage further by buying science kits for children to play with this enables learning during playtime. Some of the basic scientific experiments which can be made at home are mentioned below.
