      This is a really good question. It is important for a few reasons but for me the most important one is this.

      Learning about science from an early age will help children develop their critical thinking skills. Showing them it is okay to question why and how things happen. It can encourage both healthy skepticism and curiosity.

      I think there are a number of good reasons why children should learn science.
      The most important one is to be able to analyse a problem and make good judgements.
      Understanding how things work is the first step to make them better or repair them if they fail.
      Look around you, many aspects of every day live use technology that is based on science.
      Science is not magic (even if it can appear this way sometimes) but based on facts and a solid understanding of how nature works!

      I’m with Amal, it is so important to be able to understand the world we live in. Science is all about curiosity too, so hopefully it engages people with why things work and how to solve life’s problems!
