Stop gate-keeping science. Observe, Predict, Test, Repeat. That is science. Kids do science when they watch adults do things. Just because you aren’t sitting in a lab publishing things no one reads doesn’t mean you can’t “do science.”
- hattmall 3y agoJust simply learning something isn't "doing science." The scientific method is a natural learning process it's not the only thing that defines science. This is incredibly light gate keeping. It's just maintaining a basic professional definition.
- criley2 3y agoIf a child watching an adult is "science", then when I brush my teeth I'm a dentist. Words have meaning and when you dilute them down this far the only result is the destruction of communication.
- frumper 3y agoWords do have meaning. den· tist ˈden-təst : one who is skilled in and licensed to practice the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, injuries, and malformations of the teeth, jaws, and mouth and who makes and inserts false teeth Brushing your teeth does not imply you are a dentist. sci·ence noun 1. the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained. "the world of science and technology" A child may not be a good scientist, but they observe, experiment and explore their ideas. That sounds like science to me. Observational learning is a very common way scientist begin to understand things.
