Teaching babies stem

The great news is that young babies are innately curious and are pretty much born as scientist. Your role is to make sure they don't lose that side of themselves. Even within their first few days of life, infants spend more time looking at new objects than at those they have seen before. By the time they have enough eye-hand coordination to reach out and manipulate objects, they do just that--constantly. Six-month-olds examine every new object they can reach, in ways that are well designed to learn about it's physical properties. They squeeze it, pass it from hand to hand, look at it from all sides, shake it, drop it, watch to see what happens; and whenever something interesting happens they try to repeat it, as if to prove that it wasn't a fluke. So just make sure you encourage such curiosity and behaviour.
