Play provides abundant opportunities for children to learn science concepts such as the diversity and interdependence of life, relationships between force and motion, and the structure of matter. It is also a rich context in which to introduce young children to the process of scientific inquiry. Teachers support play through intentional planning and engaging in high-quality interactions with children and adults. In this article, the authors share how one family child care provider created opportunities for children ages 18 months to 3 years to make connections between different types of play and science learning. They offer explanations and examples of how teachers can create opportunities for young children to expand their understandings of scientific concepts and science inquiry during play.
