Scientific Process for Infants

Picture
Infants are natural scientists! Yes, you read that correctly. Most people consider science to be an advanced study set which requires higher methods of analyzing, observing and recording. While these things are necessary for scientific study, the very basis of scientific study is in exploration, curiosity and discovery. Infants are constantly exploring, observing, and discovering the world around them! Science is in the very nature of an infant’s development, and is easily supported by encouraging their discoveries and curiosities each and every day.
