Science Experiments to Strengthen Reasoning
If your child needs help connecting ideas or drawing conclusions
How To Apply It!
Science experiments help students develop general knowledge, organization and problem solving skills. Consider working on hands-on experiments to help your child understand a specific concept or strengthen their overall skills.
Start with experiments that use common household items.
Experiments develop a child's ability to follow step-by-step instructions.
Provide appropriate parent supervision to ensure no one gets hurt and students are learning.
Why It Works (the Science Of Learning)!
Science experiments and other experiential learning can be a particularly good way to help students with weaker general knowledge or abstract reasoning skills.
