How to Let you Kid Enjoy Science?


 Getting kids curious about science at an early age is extremely important. It's easier than you think that. Science doesn't need to be something mysterious. it's happening all around us, and you'll use everyday things to encourage your children's interest and knowledge.


Most parents believe that they can not help their children with science. But you do not need an advanced science degree to show young children science. All you would like may be a willingness to undertaketo watch the planet, and to require the time to encourage their natural curiosity.

You can help by having a positive attitude toward science yourself. Then start just by asking your child questions on the items you see a day. Why does one thing that happened? How does one think that works? then hear their answer without judging it or judging them. Listening without judging will improve their confidence, and assist you to determine just what your child does or doesn't know.

You can turn daily activities into science projects. for instance, don't just discuss how bright the moon is one night. Ask questions on why it's brighter tonight, why does it change the form, etc. you'll observe the moon's phases throughout a month, and switch that activity into a science project, without even mentioning the words "science project". For a toddler that likes cooking, observe how milk curdles once you add vinegar, or how sugar melts into syrup. Try baking a cake and asking why does the cake rises? What happens if you forget to place in some ingredient? Voila! Instant science project idea, without being intimidating to you or your child.

Different kids have different interests in order that they need different sorts of science projects. A rock collection may interest your young daughter but your older son may have something more involved. Fortunately, it isn't hard to seek out many fun projects. Knowing your child is that the best thanks to finding enjoyable learning activities. Here are some more tips:

- Choose activities that are the proper level of difficulty - not too easy nor too hard. If you're unsure, pick something easier since you do not want to discourage a toddler by making science frustrating. you'll always do the harder project afterward.

- Read the suggested ages on any projects, books or toys labels, on the other hand, confirm that the activity is acceptable for your child, no matter age. Your child's interests and skills are unique. If a toddler curious about a subject,they may be ready to do activities normally done by older kids, while a toddler who isn't interested may have something easier aimed toward younger ages.

- Consider how well the sort of project matches your child's personality and learning style. is that the project meant to be done alone or during a group? Will it require adult help or supervision?

- Choose activities matched to your environment. A city filled with bright lights in the dark might not be the simplest place to review the celebs. But during your vacation to a foreign area, you'll be ready to spark an interest in astronomy.

- Let your child help choose the project or activity. it is easy enough to ask. instead of overwhelming them, suggest 2 or 3 possibilities. When a toddler picks something they're curious aboutthey're going to enjoy it and learn more from it.

Go ahead. Try it and see for yourself how easy it's the spark the interest of a toddler.

Ramanujan in London

  When super genius Indian Mathematician Srinivasan Ramanujan arrived  London, he was greeted by Professor Godfrey Harold Hardy. Just to break the silence , Hardy commented on the Taxi number , he came in is 1729- " seems like  an uneventful  number". Ramanujan had a cursory glance at the taxi number plate himself and replied casually  "Oh No, actually   it's  a really  interesting number. It is  the smallest  number  representable in two  alternative ways as  the  sum of two cubes  and then this brilliant man told the equation on the spot. 1729 is the sum of the cubes of 10 and 9 - cube of 10 is 1000 and cube of 9 is 729; adding the two numbers results in 1729. 1729 is also the sum of the cubes of 12 and 1- cube of 12 is 1728 and cube of 1 is 1; adding the two results in 1729.
