        How do you all teach Science huh?


        Nowadays in the market, there are lots of experimental packages like growing your own crystals, create your own water clock, robotics etc.

        What is the ideal age for children to create their own science experiments?

        Those packages state ages 6 and above. But I wonder if it's suitable for my K2 boy.
        As what jedamum and schellen have shared, we usually read books for science stuff too.

        In addition, I have also just started Science experiments with my kids. Any good Science experiment books (let me know if you need some titles) will give you great ideas. However, preparation can sometimes be a hassle for me. So, I am using Go Dynamic from GrowingFun. It comes with a booklet with detailed steps and explanations as well as the necessary apparatus for the experiments. We had done only experiment on surface tension (3 different activities). After the activities, I simply left it to my son to carry out his own investigations (which, of course, required some cleaning up later on).

            Wow, thanks buds and chamonix! Me really no idea how to start science, esp when I'm really disinterested in this subject.

            I was viewing through the website from GrowingFun too. That's when I wonder if it's time to buy those books and science experimental packages.

                    so end up now i dunno how to teach when it’s my boy’s turn lor…
