The science experiment instruction stimulates children into scientific inquiry; thus, they construct knowledge in an critical and creative manner, but also they learn to solve problems and develop a positive attitude towards science in general. Children, through the experimental process, acquire skills of observation, prediction, hypothesis, measurement, classification, control of variables, inferences and interpersonal communication.
e.g. physics experiment for electricity generation from recyclable materials (Mild-New Forms of Energy) for (pre)schoolers
