please can I get some help, even just some pointer, I have been staring at this questions for the past 2 days and just simply struggling to find something to fit all.


You are required to plan a learning environment or experiences that encourage problem solving and the enquiry process in children. Your learning environment or experiences must provide children with the:

• Opportunity to explore science, mathematics and technology
• Opportunities to experience consequences of their choices, actions and ideas
• Opportunity to investigate ideas, concepts and thinking, reasoning and hypothesising
• Opportunity to explore concept development
• Opportunity to construct and take apart, as a strategy for learning
• Opportunity to use everyday materials to create patterns and to sort, categorise, order and compare
• Opportunity to explore the inquiry process, try new ideas and take on challenges

You can set up a learning environment which supports problem solving which includes some of the experiences mentioned above. You will also need to include additional materials to support a child's problem solving. For example - using balance scales you can include different items that can be weighed to see which ones balance or to find the items that are heavier and lighter than others...
