The purpose of the plan is to analyse a child’s engagement, inquiry skills and understanding of physical or chemical science understandings. While investigating a child it is important to design a science inquiry activity and consider the suitability to engage a child. The concept of the learning experience is to help children develop speech, stimulate about thinking, inquiry, and explore the world around them. Hence, in a research by Campbell, Jobling, and Howitt (2015, p. 10) that science experiences provide young children opportunities for practical skills of observation, such as hand-eye coordination, reasoning and thinking, like asking questions, communication skills, and social skills. From an early age, children begin to make sense of

    An influential scientist, Jean Piaget, made his mark in this field by creating the ideal that, “…children are naturally curious…children at all ages are like scientists…” (Kail, 2015) which are capable of encountering a number of experiences to craft working hypotheses about the surrounding world from. To begin with Piaget had three basic principles associated with this theory which were assimilation, new occurrences blending with existing ideals, accommodation, changing one’s thoughts to support newfound evidence, and equilibration which is restoring the balance between a child engaging in assimilation and accommodation by experiencing new ones rather than changing their beliefs (Kail, 2015). As a child I adored a single yellow flower known to be a buttercup, likely because they grew so frequently in our yard, and after the first time my mother showed it to me I began associating whatever yellow flower caught my eye by the same name (assimilating). Shortly after that trend started my mother corrected me in an effort to make me understand (accommodate) that yellow daisies and buttercups were similar in color but overall different…

    Sadly, I haven’t observed much science when I worked as a SPED assistant. Science was usually linked to ELA block, and I think I can remember just three hands-on activities that students performed. The first one was observing butterflies metamorphosis, another was planting seeds, and the last one was building towers using construction paper, spaghetti and tape. In other cases, it was a teacher who conducted the experiment, and children just observed and wrote notes. I noticed that students were very engaged and excited when they were allowed to actually use their hands and try new things, so I will definitely use this knowledge in the future when teaching science.…

    Theories and Theorists From first steps, first words and more all children go through similar stages of development. Many theorists have studied these developmental milestones, and put them into broad stages of development, which many children go through during certain time frames. Jean Piaget, one of the most well known child development theorist, formed the Cognitive Development Theory which has helped educators to understand a child’s cognitive abilities from birth to early adolescence. Jean Piaget disagreed with behavioral theorists who believed that a child’s learning depended on reinforcers. He believed that a child’s learning is active, which was the foundation of his Cognitive Development Theory.…

    There are some challenges to hands on and cross-curricular learning, within our activity we came across some areas that could have been developed, Hayes (2010) argues that hands on learning its heavily resourced. We agreed with this as the amount of resources we had available were limited. We also didn’t ensure we had planned for a child with a medical need, and therefore had to re arrange the activity a quarter of the way through the lesson to ensure she could join in. One key area that we identified was that children became more involved with the way the house looked in a creative sense, rather than the scientific reasoning. This challenge is also identified by Jarvis (2009) who expresses that one of the risks to cross-curricular learning is that one subject takes over in response to children’s enthusiasm and interest, this is of a loss to the other subject.…
