1.The enjoyable process starts with teaching science concepts to young children.
There is never a wrong age to introduce children to the glories of the natural and
built environment. Science is the process of observing, formulating hypotheses,
testing those hypotheses, and attempting to interpret the results. For instance,
classifying natural objects like leaves based on their features is a method of teaching
the concept of organisation. By growing plants grown from seeds, feeding them, and
providing sunlight to help them grow, kids may learn about impact and cause. The
activity that can be done for science is planting outside the classroom by using
water, sand and seed. Firstly, pick a good location. Simply begin excavating your
own school backyard. Prepare the area. Get your hands dirty and start digging. Then
plant the seed and start selections. Kids can assist by sowing seeds in your yard or
by carefully separating the roots of little vegetable starts before putting them in a pot.
Soil over the seeds and root systems. Lastly water the plant.
As kids explore their surroundings, children begin to develop their intellectual
capabilities, which continue until the preschool period. The groundwork for
achievement will already be place by the time they begin studying formal
mathematical thinking in the first year. In attempting to introduce notions that are too
sophisticated, it is imperative to first develop these. Counting, number recognition,
and addition and subtraction are some of the more complex early mathematical
concepts that you can try to demonstrate to your preschooler when you wish to
expose them to math, but these are actually a few of the most basic concepts.
Therefore the activity that can be done is building sand blocks. Through this, children
can learn shape and sizes of different blocks. Firstly material that will be needed is
water, sand and shape toys. Teacher will instruct student to shape the sand using
the shape toys according to their likings. From that, they will identify different types of
shapes that has been made.
2. a) Technology makes knowledge instantly accessible, resulting in the reason
utilizing it in the classroom is so important. For both children and educators, phones,
ipads, and tablets are already an integral part of daily life. It stands to reason that
efforts are being made to study how to employ technology in the classroom to give
children of all ages relevant learning opportunities.
Contrary to popular belief, educators do not essentially require their very own
devices or computers to find success with advanced technologies. Instead, it is
possible for school districts to implement technology in the classroom without
incurring significant financial costs. For both audio and visual learners, using
technology throughout a whole education can increase student participation
One method many teachers might start incorporating the use of technology is by
posting worksheets online. Tasks are conveniently available, which might improve
student involvement and aid in the organisation of the students. Not every child picks
up knowledge and retains it at the exact rate or in a similar method. With the use of
technology, educators may adapt their lessons to the diverse learning styles and
capacities of their students. Students who use technology may also be eligible to
function at their own timings.
Children have a lot of creative potential because to technology. Start by
encouraging them to utilise sketching software and apps, and then introduce them to
other sorts of technology. Have kids snap a photo and edit it, create a quick film and
help publish it to the class blog, or engage in other technologically intensive tasks.

b) Our society is growing more and more dependent on technology, thus it is crucial
to prepare kids for achievement in elementary and secondary school by giving them
a strong grasp of popular digital innovations and their functions. Its never too soon
for preschool kids to start acquiring the understanding and skills they will need
throughout their academic and professional settings. In this pros, early introduction
to technology in the classroom is a terrific approach to start laying the groundwork
for future success. Nowadays, it is usual for many kids in school to have grown up
around technology since they were young children. As a result, students commonly
link joy and excitement with computers, tablets, and other related technology. As a
result, using technology throughout the classroom not just to piques students'
interest and excitement, but also energises more traditional teaching methods.
Inadequate safety precautions can also provide young kids access to unsuitable
data or content via devices. Learning in computer ethics, or appropriate use of the
online, can help to infuse best website opinion and lifestyles at a young age. Web
page blockers, online filters, and strict monitoring can all aid in avoiding youngsters
from being exposed to such. According to studies, the connections that systems
make possible by social networks are causing an increase in the number of people in
society to feel alone and alienated. Younger children who spend a lot of using
technology may not engage with their classmates as much, which may hinder their
development emotionally and socially. In order to reduce this risk, technology time
must be moderated so that kids can socialise with their relatives and friends.
