The Scientific Method
Science & Innovation
Your child acts like a scientist. They do not just watch things happen. They make a guess (prediction) beforehand, test it, and observe what happens when they change one rule (variable).
In real life
Before sending a toy car down a ramp, your child says, "I think this one will go faster because the ramp is steeper." Then they race both cars to check.
