Why Some Learners Perform Well in Sciences and Mathematics
Pre-school aged children who engage in outdoor activities have better education outcomes later during their schooling than those who play indoors with their toys, according to a study.
According to research findings, Girls for instance, gain more by engaging in non-gendered outdoor play because it gives them more freedom to interact creatively with unstructured natural materials.
The outdoor plays, equips the kindergarten children with deeper understanding of learning areas such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Interacting with natural materials like trees, sticks and leaves help the kids to form a better understanding of technology at a tender age resulting to experimentation ( engineering).
Drawing with sticks or toes on the sand or dirt help children to acquire some skills that are useful in science subjects. Equally, observing objects float on water surface is of help in building their intellectual capacity.
