Success, Exploration, Choice

Close observation of children at play suggests that they find out about the world in the same way as scientists find out about new phenomena and test new ideas. Young children may not be able to verbalize new ideas forming in their heads, but they may still apply similar processes to scientists.  During this exploration, all the senses are used to observe and draw conclusions about objects and events through simple, if crude, scientific investigations.
~ Judith Roden, Lecturer, Canterbury Christ Church University College
