Tips for parents

  • Pick one question from today's quest and test it at home: drop two objects, watch a shadow move, or check what dissolves in water.
  • Ask "what do you think will happen?" before reading the explanation. Making a prediction is the heart of science.
  • Keep a short wonder list of questions your child asks during the week and look one up together on the weekend.
