Every child should have a solid science education whether they want to be the next Albert Einstein or Michael Jordan.Science is all around us,it is everywhere,reaching everything that we do.The “we” in that last statement includes children.Children that understand how science plays a role in our everyday lives have a wonderful foundation (基础) for success in life.
Children can learn science at any age really.The earlier they start the better.The best way for kids to learn is through play and repetition.There are wonderful science toys for preschool science activities.With play being the best way kids learn,it only makes sense then to introduce toys to them that encourage understanding science.Children love to use their imagination to have fun and to help them understand the world around them.So play is a wonderful time to be introducing science to them.Think of the games that we used to play:Don’t Spill the Beans,Don’t Break the Ice,the Telephone Game,Lincoln Logs,each of these games has science behind it.
Children are by nature curious (好奇的) as they feel out the world,trying to make sense of what is around them.Science feeds that curiosity that they have.It is a hunger that needs to be encouraged and satisfied.Finding these toys is not as hard as one would think.To make sure that you get good quality toys,visit science toy shops online.These are the best places to find unique (独特的) science toys such as 3D space projectors,or Hydro Greenhouses.
Help your children appreciate the world around them by understanding the world around them.This way,they understand how we are all connected together.Children will not only question the world,but be able to come up with answers to those questions on their own.Science is life.

English teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country’s increasing obesity (肥胖 )rate. It’s feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England---even if it was mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools. In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
“What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry---which they can use now at home and then in their later life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
“If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we’ve got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure”.
The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.
