Tips for continued development:
To further develop their scientific skills, encourage the child to conduct more experiments using different variables. Help them think of new questions they can explore and guide them in designing their own experiments. Encourage them to write down their observations and findings, and discuss the results with them to help them understand the scientific concepts and theories behind their experiments.
