In Science, children are given the chance to develop a deeper understanding of the world and nurture their natural curiosity. By engaging in hands-on activities, they can explore various scientific concepts and make connections between what they learn and the world around them. Children have the opportunity to ask questions, make predictions, and test hypotheses through various methods.
