Children start out as natural scientists. They are interested in looking into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy—there’s no need for a lot of expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity（好奇心）.

First，______1._________ I once visited a second-grade classroom to talk about working as a scientist. The children asked me “textbook questions”—about schooling, salary, whether I liked any job. When I finished answering, I said: “Do you have questions of your own—about science”

After a long time, a boy put up his hand. “Am I just a bag of blood? Whenever I cut myself, I see blood.” This began a lot of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

Second, ________2.________ Studies have shown that after asking a question, adults usually wait only one second or less for an answer—no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children can give more logical(逻辑的), complete and creative answers.

Third, _____3.__________ Once you have a child telling his idea in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good.” These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that the discussion is over. Instead, you can say “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before,” or come up with more questions or ideas.

__________4.__________ It doesn’t make sense—children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so he won’t have his own idea.

Last, _______5.________ Real-life feelings of nature are far more exciting than any lesson children can learn from a book or a TV program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜)，and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.

Doing this and they will clearly see that learning is not something that happens only in school. Learning is something to be enjoyed every day—for a lifetime.
