- Abstract
The article offers information on the interest shown by children on science in the U.S. Space exploration is one topic which children has high interest in. They love to play with space models, pore over space images, talk about what they have seen in the sky or on television and play astronaut. It is suggested that teachers and parents should encourage these students to go bigger and smaller in imaginative play with small figures of astronauts at work. These imaginative play will reveal students' ideas, whereas selective activities can develop a better understanding of concepts.
