Why Science is important for our children?



Making our own dough!
Hello, hello, can you hear me?
the plant is grow from seeds!
Balancing! Can you do that?
Blue mixed with red give you purple!
My butterfly can fly!
Vibration!

Science is everywhere in today’s world. It is part of our daily lives, from cooking and gardening, to recycling and comprehending the daily weather report, to reading a map and using a computer. Advances in technology and science are transforming our world at an incredible pace, and our children’s future will surely be filled with leaps in technology we can only imagine.

Being “science literate” will no longer be just an advantage but an absolute necessity. We can’t escape from the significance of science in our world. But not everyone understands that, or has been taught to think critically, or been provided with the tools to analyze and test a problem or situation.

There are three simple reasons why science is important for our kids:
  1. Kids love science because it engages their curiosity
  2. Science provides practical tools for understanding everyday life
  3. Science advances critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity in early learners
It is widely known that young children learn science best by direct hands-on learning. Understanding science helps kids appreciate and relate to the world around them. Preschool is the perfect time to get kids interested in science when they are naturally curious. Science education fuels that curiosity and provides children with valuable ideas, skills, and potential future career choices.

Our kids need more opportunities to learn and love science. In QQ, We wanted to help more children to be interested in science and to establish a basic love of learning in our kids and help them experience and understand the science they see everyday.

Whether a child gains an interest in becoming a doctor, lawyer, teacher, investor, or entrepreneur, developing a scientific mindset with questioning and problem solving is critical to enhancing a child's cognitive growth, logic, and reasoning.

Hence, QQ is going to give our kids a real chance to learn science. If we are lucky, we might help educate the next Einstein, Newton or Planck!
