Why is science important for children?

Without science, perhaps today we would not be able to enjoy many things that promote our well-being, such as connectivity during the pandemic or treatments for complex diseases. Therefore, this discipline is crucial for humanity.

Why is science important for children?

Thanks to the knowledge we have today, we can develop new learning. Science advances daily, just like the curious minds of children.

Fortunately, bringing the scientific world closer to children's minds is easier (and necessary) than ever. Research shows that children as young as five already have notions about various sciences, and by age seven, they develop a subjective image of it. Let's make it positive in all cases.

If we take advantage of children's natural curiosity to learn, we can educate them to be more informed and have better critical and logical thinking skills.

Why is science so attractive to children, and how can we encourage this learning in a fun way?

What does science offer children that makes it important to them?

Science is considered vital for children's education. By encouraging exploration, children can learn more than just theories.

Science allows us to acquire greater knowledge of the world and provides a broad picture of how things work, whether artificial or natural.

Improves problem-solving skills by providing tools to meet challenges and solve problems creatively, fostering analysis, synthesis, and critical thinking.

Develops vital skills, explaining life and allowing children to better understand their environment, fostering observation and experimentation.

Stimulates creativity, as learning science requires innovative approaches to find new answers and pose new challenges.

Instills respect for nature by fostering knowledge and respect for the environment, encouraging environmental awareness and love for the natural world.

Science, a field of the future for children

We can employ various strategies to get children excited about science, even in everyday contexts. Learning doesn't have to be formal; approaching it as a hobby can yield excellent results.

Supporting children in their explorations in everyday contexts can be as simple as exploring life in a pond, and fostering discussions about the importance of various phenomena.

Ultimately, science is crucial for children because it helps them understand the world around them and encourages curiosity and critical thinking. Let's continue to focus on science-based teaching and learning.

The Causes of Climate Change

Image
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global warming over the past 50 years is caused by humans. The natural greenhouse effect intensifies due to emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels - oil, natural gas, and coal - as well as land use. The latest IPCC report from 2018, based on broad scientific analyses, highlights the exponential growth of population and economy, alongside the modern lifestyle of our globalized consumer society. These factors continue to increase emissions of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases. The concentration of these gases in the Earth's atmosphere is currently at its highest level in 800,000 years and continues to grow faster than ever. The rapid climate changes observed since the 19th century can be explained particularly by the industrial era. Fossil fuels, such as coal, lignite, oil, and gas, release large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) directly into the atmosphere, reinforcing the natural greenhouse effect

Battery recycling is progressing rapidly to further reduce the ecological footprint of electric vehicles

Credit: Freepik Today we are going to take stock of Li-ion battery recycling. This is a very important aspect to reduce the ecological footprint of electric vehicles (EVs) as much as possible. To begin with, the lifespan of an EV is around 12 years on average. It can be more or less, depending on their use. We will look at the anticipated recycling capacity in 2025 and 2030, for light vehicles, in order to establish ideas. The number of battery packs to be recycled for these years will be approximately the number of EVs sold 12 years earlier, in 2013 and 2018. This information is given to us by EV-Volumes on a global scale. According to this site, worldwide sales were  2013 worldwide = 206,000 EVs  2018 worldwide = 2,082,000 EVs Still according to EV-Volumes, sales of light EVs in China were 1,161,000 units in 2018. This is more than half of global sales. Therefore, the combined recycling capacities of Europe and North America are expected to be a first approximation of 100,000 EVs in

How does a solar power plant change sunlight into electricity using technology

Image
In the field of energy, we are increasingly noticing the presence of renewable energy sources, particularly solar. Photovoltaic solar power plants convert the sun's radiation into electricity. This phenomenon is possible thanks to photovoltaic cells . The next few lines will reveal to you all the secrets of this conversion process. Capturing sunlight Thermodynamic and thermal solar power plants use heat from the sun to generate electricity. This is not the case for photovoltaic solar power plants. The latter are made up of solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells which capture the sun's radiation. They can be installed on the ground or on the roof. However, to be able to produce energy optimally, these solar panels must be arranged correctly. Good orientation In order to properly capture sunlight, solar panels must be oriented towards the south. This will boost the efficiency of the plant. Indeed, by having this orientation, the solar power plant will be able to be
