2voteAll children’s conceptual frameworks develop from their experiences and change as they mature. However, frequently their intuitive understanding of the world around them does not agree with the scientific explanation. It is important in planning instruction to know how these naïve conceptions differ from the scientific explanation, and why children construct these ideas. Development of complex concepts takes place in many small steps. Missing steps can make the correct explanation illusive or down right unattainable. This makes high-quality, age appropriate instruction at each grade level vital to the development of children’s understandings of key science concepts.
