Families have a great responsibility to ensure that their children have fun learning and keeping their knowledge fresh during the summer holidays. It may be beneficial for children to spend this period focusing more on science. But how?
It is up to you to ensure that children do not forget what they have learned throughout the year during the summer vacation. "Adding science to daily life is much easier than you think. Often, the trick lies in simply realizing that science surrounds you," says Corporate Communications and Brand Director Gülçin Aşkın Çetin. The most important thing at this point is to ensure that children ask the question 'why?' while performing all activities. Because asking why forms the basis of science and develops critical and creative thinking skills. So how do you do this?
Go outside
There are unlimited outdoor materials that are fun, easy and free for children to discover, observe and try. Frogs, lizards, butterflies and caterpillars are waiting for you. Push them to think about the workings of nature and the ecosystem. Teach basic flight principles using kites and paper airplanes, for example, in open spaces.
Turn the kitchen into a Game hall
You can encourage science questions by cooking with your children. “What will happen when we mix these two ingredients?”, “Why do we add baking soda in these cookies?”, “Do all fruits have the same number of seeds?” Search for answers to your questions together. Stick a slice of bread in a jar and use a microscope or magnifying glass to watch what grows over the next few days.
Let him take responsibility
Collect plant seeds in an empty egg carton or try growing vegetables such as carrots, radishes and potatoes at home. You know that plants need soil and water to grow. What about your child?
Let him add logic to his creativity
You can also offer children alternative materials to Legos. You can use household items including toilet paper cartons, plastic funnels, small train pieces, cardboard and lots of tape. If you're at the beach, try creating a sand castle. Why were we putting water in the sand for this?
Watch the sky
One of the most enjoyable aspects of summer is that it shows us the stars clearly every night! Look at the stars with your child, mark constellations, try to find stars and talk about planets.
Corporate Communications and Brand Director Gülçin Aşkın Çetin underlines that including science activities in your writing will also strengthen family ties and says, "During this period, children can explore science fields without worrying about homework and after-school programs, allowing their horizons to expand with fun." No matter what science you and your child pursue, find areas you enjoy and enjoy the 'why' moments!
