Abstract

Children have an innate need to explore and make questions about what makes them curious. Also, they feel the desire to manipulate objects that allow them to experiment and try to understand a certain phenomenon. Learning science from an early age allows broadening knowledge and understanding of basic topics in biology, physics, mathematics or chemistry. Also, it helps to develop findings and explanations in an effective and systematic way, moving from experiential knowledge towards the scientist. It is necessary to satisfy this need to establish the foundation for future learning. Methodological proposals such as Science to the Rescue, allow teachers to manage this potential and direct it towards meaningful learning by younger students.
