STEM - 'We are curious' display
‘We are curious’ display to be used as part of a STEM area.
(Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics)
Children are naturally curious; born predisposed to learning about their immediate surroundings. As babies we begin to sense and explore the world around us. We embark on scientific enquiry by noticing cause and effect, repeating experiences to confirm what we have found out and exploring when something different happens to what we expect. As we develop language we ask a multitude of ‘how?’ and ‘why?’ questions to make further sense of the world around us.
Early Years settings are the perfect environment for STE(A)M development because children naturally want to play in their immediate surroundings to investigate and learn more. As early years professionals and parents it is our job to nurture this natural desire and enthusiasm and provide children with an environment which enables exploration and scientific discovery.
