Close observation helps scientists understand their subjects.
Encourage your child to carefully examine and describe items. Older children can keep journal entries over time, recording a plant's growth or looking for patterns in the month's weather. Visit a museum, zoo, or planetarium. Subscribe to an age-appropriate nature or science magazine, such as Ranger Rick for young children, or Popular Science for older ones. Ask your local librarian or your child's teacher for more suggestions about magazines on specific topics.
