Science activities, particularly in early childhood or elementary school classroom for a and the second is actually just wanted to introduce science concepts to children has an interest to learn science. Through three main activities, namely, manipulation, observation, and discovery of children expected to have experience meaningful to science, so that ultimately is expected to be prepared early teaching

materials do not become rigid, it became part learned pleasant.According to McIntyre (in 1984) the role of experience can be obtained from several of the following activities: touch, smell / odor, taste, pressure,Interesting, play, mix, compare. Included also can unit activity centers of science with other activities. For example, the central reading and writing, drama central role, playing the central beam, and outside center class.In order for science activities are not real impressed with stiff certainly an important activity to be done. Teachers are not limited to just give a lecture course. Because concept can be understood when the process is carried out. Especially for kids a way of learning more on building a real experience.

For instance, for elementary age children, especially for early classes. Several examples science activities below, might be fun for them.
Activity 1: Earth's Pole With Compass Artificial Objective: Students understand the concept of the influence of the north and south magnetic earth.Ingredients: small bucket, sponge, water, needles Practice:1. Pour water into the bucket2. Needle stick horizontal to the sponge 3. Make sure the needle will not sink when in place on the water Duties:1. Students observe the events 2. Finding answers to why the needle points to north and south 3. Problems associated with the poles of the earth Activity 2: Electrical Energy Objective: Students grasp the concept of electrical energy.Ingredients: battery, cables, flashlight bulbs Practice:1. Connect the cable to the battery discharge current2. Connect the cord to the light bulb 3. Make sure the electrical connection of the positive () and negative (-) is correct Duties:1. Students observe the events 2. Finding answers to why the light bulb flashlight3. Associated with electrical energy in battery

Activity 3: The concept of salt production Objective: Students understand the process of making salt.Ingredients: Salt, bucket or pot, water or sea water if
allowing a small stove provided.Practice:1. Pour salt into the water with large quantities and stir until dissolved 2. Heat in hot / sunshine 3. If possible, aided by the stove in the warming up process Duties: 1. Students observe the events 2. research process of change 3 . Associate with the process of making salt Activity 4: The concept of water evaporation Objective: Students understand the process of evaporation of water.Ingredients: Water, buckets, watches Practice:1. Prepare water 2. Apply water in the hot spot and the other in the shade 3. Students in the two groups 4. Observing the occurrence of evaporation in hot and cold Duties: 1. Students observe the events 2. observe evaporation process 3. Comparing between the evaporation time in the shade and hot with see the time on my watch Activity 5: The concept of rain Objective: Students understand the process of rain.Ingredients: Water, rice pot for men complete with lid, stove Practice: 1. Pour water into the pan and then put the lid 2. Heat water to boiling on the stove 3. Open the pot and see observe dew attached to the lid Duties: 1. Students observe the events 2. Teacher explains about the dew clinging to the pan lid3. analogi with significant rain event process from start to evaporation,into the clouds, and melt back into the rain

Activity 6: Shape of the Earth and the event day and night Objective: Students understand the shape of the earth and process events and day night.Ingredients: Globe swivel flashlight.Practice:1. Prepare the globe in the space that is not too bright 2. Play Solarise globes and flashlights from the top / side Duties:  1. Students observe events2. Teacher explains about the shape of the earth and parts, land, sea,plants, which can be seen on the surface of the globe3. Teacher explains about the process of day and night events with the help of globe who played with the flashlight Solarise
7 Activities: The concept of the occurrence of rain Objective: Students understand the process of rain.Ingredients: Water, rice pot complete with lid, cooker Practice:1. Pour water into the pan and then put the lid2. Heat the water to boiling over a stove 3. Open the pan and see the dew observe that attach to the lid Duties:1. Students observe the events 2. Teacher explains about the dew clinging to the pan lid 3. Analogic with significant rain event process from start to evaporation,into the clouds, and melt back into the rain

Events 8: Know Your Microscope Objective: Students know and understand the functions of the microscope.Materials: Microscope, leaves, or other objects are easy to observe Practice:1. Prepare microscope2. Teachers introduce and demonstrate the function of the microscope3. Students in a semicircle around teacher Duties:1. Students observe the events 2. Each student was given opportunity to observe objects with a microscope 3. Encourage students to comment on what is in the observe

Activity 9: Heavy Things to Know Objective: Students know and understand that objects have weight.Ingredients: small scales, things are different.Practice: 1. Prepare scales 2. Teachers introduce the scale function 3. Teachers tell you that every object has weight asks: 1. Students observe the events   2. Each student was given a chance to weigh, and see numbers, which exist on the scale needle 3. Encourage students to respond to what is done
That's only a few small examples that can implemented in order attracted the interest of introducing science as well as on the science of early childhood.
