what is the learning objectives for science for kids?
156973
I do not know what the formal objectives are, but as a scientist I will give it a stab:\n\n1. learn a bit about nature and the world around us\n2. learn what science has contributed to our society and culture\n3. learn what scientists do\n4. learn what science is and is not\n5. prepare children for more advanced science classes later\n6. teach them about why pseudoscience is not science\n7. help children develop thinking and reasoning processes\n8. help children with critical thinking\n9. show them that science is part of everyday life\n10. show children that science is fun and exciting\n11. show children how arithmetic can be applied in practical situations\n12. stir children's creative and inventive sides\n\nand probably quite a few more. But those will do to start.

I'm guessing the project needs to be an experiment and not just a demonstration.\n\nWhat area of science are you expected to work in? Are you allowed to use live subjects? \n\nPhysics:\nHow does the length of a string affect the period of a pendulum?\nHow does the density of a material affect the speed of sound?\n\nBiology:\nHow does the color of a light affect the growth of a plant?\nHow does caffeine affect a rat's ability to learn?\n\nAnother thing you might do is Google science projects or go to the library and look for a book.

Depends on the age of the student.  There is a great website you can use to search by difficulty level and genre (biology, chemistry, etc.) at:\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/science_fair_projects.php?hidden=1\n\nHope that helps!

I agree with the above answer about not forcing a child to learn.  If you want to foster a lifelong love of learning then you have to let a child explore, discover and develop curiousity on their own. Encourage a child to ask questions and then guide them to find answers.  Teach them how ot use a library, the computer and best of all - encourage them to try things, go out into the world an observe things and do hands on research and experimentation.  \n\nI also think children need some structure and repetition, especially when it comes to learning math,  reading and writing skills.  But it does not need to be boring.  You can teach a lot of basic math skills while cooking, shopping and playing with toys.  Reading is always interesting if you encourage a child to pick out books which interst them.

I'm not sure if it has a name but the current trend is to teach "skills for lifelong learning". The idea is to get kids to "learn how to learn" so I guess that involves searching for resources, exploring what kind of information is out there, evaluating information critically, integrating information etc.

All of these seem to have good starts for ideas.  You should be able to find plenty of good projects that you'll be able to work on prior to your science fair,\n\nhttp://yahooligans.yahoo.com/Science_and_Nature/Experiments_and_Activities/Science_Fairs/\nhttp://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide/\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/\nhttp://www.scifair.org/\nhttp://www.cdli.ca/sciencefairs/\nhttp://www.isd77.k12.mn.us/resources/cf/ideas.html\nhttp://staff.washington.edu/chudler/fair.html\n\nGood Luck

its best if the child find something interesting to them. go to the library and ask the librarian for info on science fair experiments.\n\ngo to the science teacher for periodical, then pick an experiment.

As the agricultural education profession works to expand its research base regarding teacher capacity to deliver scientific concepts effectively, the work completed in this area by our colleagues in science education should be examined.\nBasic Skills\nObserving Noting the properties of objects and situations using the five senses Classifying Relating objects and events according to their properties or attributes\nSpace/time relations Visualizing and manipulating objects and events, dealing with shapes, time, distance, and speed\nUsing numbers Using quantitative relationships Measuring Expressing the amount of an object or substance in quantitative terms Inferring Giving an explanation for a particular object or event Predicting Forecasting a future occurrence based on past observation or theextension of data\nIntegrated Skills\nDefining\noperationally\nDeveloping statements that present concrete descriptions of an object or event by telling one what to do or observe\nFormulating models Constructing images, objects, or mathematical formulas to explain ideas\nControlling variables Manipulating and controlling properties that relate to situations or events for the purpose of determining causation Interpreting data Arriving at explanations, inferences, or hypotheses from data that\nhave been graphed or placed in a table Hypothesizing Stating a tentative generalization of observations or inferences that\nmay be used to explain a relatively larger number of events but\nthat is subject to immediate or eventual testing by one or more experiments\nExperimenting Testing a hypothesis through the manipulation and control of independent variables and noting the effects on a dependent variable; interpreting and presenting results in the form of a report that others can follow to replicate the experiment science concept knowledge and performance of agriculture teachers. If not\nalready being done, effective science instruction methods should be infused into agriculture\nteaching methods courses as a way to bolster the scientific rigor of future agriculture teachers\nand simply to enhance their effectiveness.

I'm a biology teacher, and a cell model is a project every year.\n\nUse a HARD beachball about the size of a basketball....or a cheap dimestore basket ball. Cut in in half and use thin wires to suspend the various organelles inside.

You need to be more specific about what you are looking for. Are you wanting to write a computer program, or a classroom lesson plan program?\n\nI would suggest picture modules -- matching words to pictures -- to start. Also, use the Dolch list, then the Rebecca Sitton list, and make flashcards. \n\nWhat do you mean by "outcome of the objective?" Are you talking about assessment, or creating more specific goals?\n\nWhat objective... are you using a state standard/benchmark, a district objective, a curriculum package objective?

To learn how children act.\nTo safeguard children from possible danger.\nIt's fun.
