A science centre gives children the opportunity to explore the world in a direct and meaningful way. Through observation, comparison, and simple experimentation, children begin to notice patterns, changes, and relationships in their environment. This collection brings together materials that support open-ended exploration, allowing children to investigate at their own pace using accessible, hands-on tools.
