Experiment and Observation
Experiment and observation help
the child to discover first hand just how
plants and animals live, to find out how
their needs are met, and to discover
the amazing variety of life forms.
Children become aware of the environment
in a new way, discovering, for example,
the tiny plants in the cracks of pavements
growing wherever they can find little light,
moisture and nourishment. This close hand
experience makes children appreciative
and protective of all of life.
Adaptation and Changes
The experiment and observation lead to
research which helps the child travel, through
his tremendous imagination back through time
to the very beginning of life, to discover the
miracle of variety and the transformation
of plants and animals through time.
