The design of learning areas aims to respond to young children’s diverse developmental needs. Through carefully planned environments, these areas support children’s holistic growth—integrating physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development—through play and exploration. The science exploration area provides natural materials and simple experimental tools to cultivate children’s observation skills, curiosity, and inquiry spirit. This article aims to explore the rationale for planning a science learning aera in a preschool. It is hoped that such an exploration will help early childhood teachers understand the principles of science learning design and, in turn, create rich and meaningful science learning environments for young children.
