Helping Your Child to Enjoy Science• Exploring Science with Your Children
Science is all around us and children are constantly observing their surroundings. Help your children make sense of the world around them by showing them science phenomena that occur in everyday activities.
Check out some of these online educational resources which you can try out together with your children:
• http://www.science.edu.sg/resources/Pages/SCBResourcesHome.aspxTry out these simple experiments with your children .
• http://www.scientificamerican.com/section.cfm?id=bring-science-homeLook through this online repository for activities that explain simple science concepts.
• http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/subjects/z2pfb9qWatch video clips illustrating science concepts.
• http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/Find interesting facts, videos, games and quizzes.

Helping Your Child to Enjoy Science• Learning Science through Questioning
Examples of living things around us Examples of questions
Observing living things: An example of a living thing – Fish
How would you describe this animal? Which animal group does it belong to? What do fishes have in common?
Sometimes, we may encounter challenging questions that you do not have an answer to. Don’t be worried or afraid, we don’t have to be a walking encyclopaedia to guide our children.
Invite them to learn together. For example, you could say, “That’s an interesting question. Let’s find out together!” Acknowledge your children’s efforts in asking questions and guide them as they look for an answer.
Engage your children by inviting them to ask questions or by asking them questions. They learn best this way!
