Children can learn that science is all around us from watching an egg change as it cooks to searching for bugs or spiders’ webs!

Allowing your child to appreciate the world around them is the best way to develop a scientific mind. Adults just need to make the most of encouraging children to think about how and why things happen. Visits to museums, parks and places of interest are always useful stating points for family discussions and developing enquiring minds.
