A SCIENCE ACTIVITIES BOOK FOR KIDS AGES 3-7: *Filled with 12 fun science activities for kids. *Graphical and written instructions promoting kids science play with minimal parental support*QR Codes to Youtube videos with further tips and extensions on each activity *Kid-friendly explanations so even non-scientist parents can play and explain science spontaneously*Designed by a scientist mum of twins How it all started?
I spend four years as a stay at home mother. This meant that I would spend the majority of my day playing with my twins, which was a great opportunity to teach them what I am most passionate about Science! Involving science in our everyday activities was an ideal scenario: my kids would have fun and learn a lot, and I would experience my kids learning science through fun play! But finding playful science activities for young kids was tricky. Coming up with ideas for science play was challenging. I had to spend hours researching possible science activities online and in books. I spent a long time shopping for the required items of the activities and testing the activities in advance, to make sure I could replicate them. Sometimes, the activities weren't easy to replicate at home or they had unclear instructions. When I finally found an activity I liked and I could replicate, I would spend time to prepare an explanation for the science behind the activity. I wanted to create an explanation that is brief, short, and easy for young kids to understand, and hopefully, remember. And for the final part, I had to convince my kids to join me and play. And that was the hardest part. It was the hardest part because my kids wanted to make the choice for what we will play. If I suggested something, it would not be as exciting as if they actually chose to play with something. They liked the power that comes with a decision, they liked the feeling of having control over what we will play and what we will learn. And I wanted to encourage them to make those decisions. It would give them great confidence and excitement, and it would give me, a little glimpse of what they most like to play. Plus, developing decision-making skills is a useful skill for adulthood. But, giving my kids the ability to choose the science activity we would play, meant that I had to preplan and prepare for multiple science activities! THE BOOK: So, I decided to write a book. A book for kids of young ages with or without reading skills. A book to inspire and empower kids so they can choose the science activity they want to play with. A book that kids can use, pause, and play in real life with science activities. Activities that use only household items. Activities that you can easily replicate at home. Activities that you can experience deeper using not only the book but also a short video creating a multimedia experience that was fun and complete.
In my book, I wanted to include kid-friendly explanations and suggestions on how the activities can be extended, so parents do not have to prepare in advance. This would also allow non-science-related parents to introduce science to their little ones. With this book, I hope I can make science accessible to the youngest kids of all family backgrounds.
