Abstract

This research discusses an effective and fun science learning approach for young children through the science play method. Using a literature study approach, this article analyzes various relevant sources, including academic journals, research articles and reference books. The results of the analysis show that interactive science learning methods such as simple experiments, educational games, and project-based activities play an important role in developing children's curiosity and critical thinking abilities. Through experiments and games, children can get to know basic science concepts, such as chemical reactions, plant life cycles, and weather phenomena, in a fun learning atmosphere. Project-based activities, such as creating a mini garden or observing the life cycle of insects, provide hands-on experience that enriches their knowledge of ecosystems and the environment. This approach not only improves understanding of science, but also forms cognitive and fine motor skills that are important for children's development in their golden years. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educators and parents include science play methods in the early childhood education curriculum to prepare them to become active learners and think critically in the future.
