A science centre is an educational facility that uses effective methods to teach science, technology, mathematics and engineering. While schools are an essential part of STEM education, science centers offer a unique way for the broader community – from students to parents to teachers and more – to learn about scientific topics in hands-on, interactive settings that help develop, and sustain, an interest in science.
Preschool science themes fall under the science areas of Life, Physical, Earth/Environmental, Health and Technology Science. Although preschool themes are typically just the vehicle to drawing children into learning based on their interests, there are many themes that will also dig deeper into a topic! Explore and experience the natural world. Problem solving. Making guesses and estimates. Developing observation skills.
