Nowadays many educators know the importance of Play-based learning. Science is the one which can be done as play-based. Actually, young children are exploring new elements and experimenting natural phenomenon everyday.
But how do we know what they "learn", or how much they "understand"?
One of the ways of assessment must be documenting with constructive feedback, as well as reflection. Photos and videos are quite useful for documenting younger students learning.
Snow became ice. What’s the difference? Which melts faster? Outside play is a great science lesson. #scientificinquiry #playbasedlearning #pypchat #WISPYP @ibpyp pic.twitter.com/0lwSThRaFL— Kaai Iz (@iz_kaai) 20 March 2018
A 4year-old girl found something while she was squashing a flower. Rushed to pick some equipment then ground petals with a stone on a wood. Aha! Got orange liquid! With a big smile, she opened her nail salon. Tuning-in for science! #WISPYP @ibpyp #playbasedlearning @kjinquiry pic.twitter.com/hiHE8KoRLx— Kaai Iz (@iz_kaai) 8 June 2018
We may need to have some lectures by our students. Children are scientists.
