Children are naturally curious about the world around them. They wonder things like, “Why does it rain?”, “Why do stars shine at night?”, or “How are shadows formed?” While these questions spark curiosity, it is not always easy for children to think about how these phenomena actually happen. It can also be challenging for parents to explain these concepts in a way that young children can easily understand.
The Complete Dictionary of Science was created for elementary school children who may find scientific concepts vague or difficult to grasp. It is designed to help children start with themselves and explore the world around them, discovering answers to the questions they encounter every day. Just as one would look up words in a dictionary, children can look up scientific terms and understand phenomena in alphabetical order.
By exploring the various concepts they encounter in science classes and looking up related terms, children can learn the connections between concepts and natural phenomena. This dictionary encourages them to develop an interest in science and to apply what they learn in their everyday lives.
