- Understanding the concept of a maze as a path with twists and turns
- Recognizing the movement of water and how it can flow through different channels
- Observing the effects of gravity on the movement of water
- Recognizing the need for a continuous path for water to flow through the maze
- Understanding the concept of cause and effect as the child manipulates the maze to guide the water
For continued development, encourage the child to:
- Experiment with different materials and designs to see how they affect the flow of water through the maze
- Observe and document the changes in the water flow when different obstacles are added or removed from the maze
- Discuss and learn about natural mazes in nature, such as rivers and streams, and how they influence the movement of water
- Explore other scientific concepts related to water, such as buoyancy and water cycles, using hands-on experiments and research
