What your child will get from the course
The Science for children course helps develop critical thinking, patience and the ability to analyse results. These skills are also valuable in the broader context of your child’s education. Laboratory activities include practical experiments such as mixing chemicals, researching reactions and building simple devices. Children conduct experiments in a real children’s laboratory, gaining experiences that were previously available only to adults. Practical work allows the young participants to grasp complex scientific concepts in an understandable way. They learn through observation and hands-on activities, which further strengthens their memory.
The course also offers an insight into important historical discoveries that have shaped science. Children learn about the work of important scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and Marie Curie, who developed innovative solutions despite the challenges they faced. Through these stories, children learn the value of perseverance and creativity. Historical stories stimulate curiosity and inspire children to explore their own ideas, leading to a broader understanding of science and encouraging them to think outside the box.
