scienceSeeds

ies in an inviting, nurturing, family-friendly environment. At scienceSeeds, we believe that science starts with questions about the world - the kind of questions that young children ask their parents and teachers every day. Our goal is to show young children that science and scientific thinking entail experimentation - processes through which kids (and their parents) can understand and answer questions about the world around them. Our activities dispel the myth that science is difficult and inaccessible, demonstrate to parents and kids that science is a part of their everyday experience and engage parents and their children in an ongoing process of exploration and discovery. ScienceSeeds strives to motivate and engage young minds, encourage out-of-the-box thinking and promote the natural acquisition of a scientific vocabulary. We will help children understand that getting wrong answers is part of discovering the right ones. We will provide an environment that motivates all children to engage in ongoing investigation both individually and collaboratively. Science is the disciplined application of curiosity. scienceSeeds reinforces children’s natural curiosity and creates an on-going dialogue between children and their peers, parents and teachers. We gently help children organize their investigations to achieve interesting and consistent results (which is the goal of "the scientific methods") while encouraging creative thinking and unorthodox solutions. scienceSeed's activities provide fun experiences grounded in the process of scientific discovery and discourse. Too often we confuse the results of scientific effort with the process of doing science. Textbooks full of facts and formulas are daunting and often dull. By contrast, the process of acquiring that knowledge is full of mystery, excitement, creative problem-solving, many wrong turns and the occasional brilliant insight. ScienceSeeds introduces children to this scientific adventure. We hope to make your child’s journey entertaining, rewarding and enriching.
