How do we define science? According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method and concerned with the physical world."
What does that really mean? Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. In children, this system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural basic phenomena.

What is the purpose of science? Perhaps the most general description is that the purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality to show the children easily.
Fields of science are commonly classified along two major lines: - Natural sciences, the study of the natural world
- Social sciences, the systematic study of human behavior and society.
I think children should learn the issues about the science since the childhood.
In our "Teaching science" lesson we learn really important and wonderful think. Especially, Kinder Garten experience was wonderful and useful for us when we think that our next academic years. All in all, everythink in lesson and lab session was didactive and useful.
Experiment with entertaining interactive facilities, play, explore, tinker... This is my science Education philosophy:)
