Piaget's periods of development in (Science)
Sensorimotor
(Birth through ages
18-24 months).
In this period, infants try
to make sense of the
world. The child becomes
able to find objects after
displaced, even if the
objects are taken out of
their vision.
Science:
*Observing.
The child in this period use his
sense to observe (seeing,
touching, sucking, feeling) and
develop object permanence.
For example:
Playing Peekaboo with them.
Babies understand that when
things disappear, they aren't
gone forever.
Preoperational Concrete operational
Toddlerhood (18-24
months) through early
childhood (age 7)
In this period, children
begin to engage in
symbolic play and
understand how symbols
(such as words or numbers)
can represent objects
Science:
*CLASSIFYING.
In this period the child can
sort and categorizing
something into a certain
group.
For example: Putting
plants or animals into a
kingdom and species.
Ages 7 to 11
In this period, the child
is capable of
performing a variety
of mental operations
and thoughts using
concrete concepts.
Science:
* COMMUNICATING.
The child in this period, use
words or graphic symbols to
describe an action.
For example: Describing
the change in his height
over time in writing or
through a graph.
*Measuring.
The child in this period can
use several things to
measure objects or find the
amount of something.
For example: Measure
the temperature of the
classroom and write it in
the paper.
Formal operational
12 to Adulthood.
In this period, people
develop the ability to
think. They get new skills
such as logical thought,
deductive reasoning, and
systematic planning.
Science:
* PREDICTING.
In this period people can guesses
and decide what they think will
happen.
For example: Predicting your
baby brother height after three
months.
* Inferring \
Hypothesizing.
These two skills are based on
observation. The child in this
stage can use his thinking more
than other stages. When the
child infer he connects what he
observe to prior knowledge
and the new information
observed through his senses. An
inference can be made from
more than one observation, and
it is not just a guess. Also, He
can put what he observed on a
hypothesis.

according the color, size,
and shapes.
For example: putting the
large objects in one

*Parts and whole.
In this period, the child can
solve more complex mental
operations. So they can
do a fraction by dividing the
whole number to parts.
For example: cutting the
pizza to 4 slices and eat
only two slices. The fraction
is 2 over 4.
