Description
Introduction We do not necessarily call all fun-filled behavior "play." Playfulness comes when children care less about reaching a particular goal and more about the energy or irony of the process. Play has an element of pretense, sometimes a sense of "the joke." Nor do we apply the adjective "scientific" to all of children's cause-and-effect thinking. Scientific thinking involves both a prediction and a method of testing the prediction; it comes about when a child both predicts and plays with an outcome.
