Why Science Learning Matters in Early Years & Primary
Science supports children to make sense of the world around them. Early exposure to science concepts helps children develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Strong science learning supports:
Curiosity and questioning
Observation and investigation skills
Critical and creative thinking
Problem-solving and reasoning
Confidence to explore new ideas
When children are encouraged to investigate and experiment, science becomes meaningful, memorable and enjoyable.
What Are Science Learning Resources?
Science resources include hands-on tools, equipment and learning materials that support investigation rather than rote learning. Instead of passively receiving information, students engage in active discovery.
Within this collection, you’ll find resources that support:
Physical, chemical and earth science concepts
Life science and environmental exploration
Cause-and-effect investigations
Measurement, observation and data collection
Inquiry-based and STEM learning
These resources help educators move science beyond textbooks into real-world learning.
