How to help your kids to think critically

At FunKe Science, we believe science is more than just facts—it’s about thinking critically, asking questions, and solving problems creatively. In today’s fast-paced world, critical thinking is an essential skill for kids to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners. But how can we teach this skill in a way that’s fun, engaging, and age-appropriate? Here’s our guide to nurturing critical thinking in young learners, one exciting activity at a time!

To cap off the nostalgia, we had the privilege of witnessing an awe-inspiring planetary parade- a truly spectacular scientific event on its own

The Tech Challenge

Not being early birds, we had quite a bit of a long morning on this day as we were to set out for Nakuru at 5:30 in the morning. The journey to Nakuru went smoothly as most of the people on our bus were asleep. We got to Melvin Jones Academy in Nakuru at around 9:30 am where we gathered in the hall for breakfast and a small orientation with guidelines on how we would go about the whole event. We attended the event as judges where we were to follow the rubric and assess the rovers the learners had made and how the rovers would move from one ravine to another with the help of the bridge they had come up with.

The 2024 BookFair

The whole FunKe Science team had the pleasure of attending yet another interactive event with our new partners Loho learning. The bookfair started on Wednesday 25th September and ended on Sunday 29th September and was held at Sarit Expo Centre. This was a very mind opening event as we met with different exhibitors from different companies like Sprix among others. This was a chance to advertise the STEM Africa festival not just to the learners but to parents and other interested individuals.

Heat Sources

One of the most important types of energy on Earth is heat energy. Heat energy is always being moved from one material to another.  Heat energy always moves from the hotter material to the colder material.  When you hold ice, it might feel like the coldness is moving up your hand, but it’s actually the other way around—the heat of your body moves to the ice, which results in the ice melting.

Plants are living things that grow from the soil and turn light from the Sun into food. Plants can be big or small. The parts of a plant include seeds, leaves, roots, the stem and flowers. There are different kinds of plants, but they all begin in the same way….
