Introduction to The Occurrence Process Rain through Project-Based Learning the Early-Age Child

Abstract

Early childhood science learning is one way to develop children's potential by applying the right learning model so that children can gain new knowledge from the results of observation, exploration, and experiments with various objects around during learning. The purpose of this study is the introduce the process of rain through Project-based Learning for early childhood.
