Six to Nine Year Olds

Although the use of concrete materials continue to serve as aids to learning various concepts in language, mathematics, science, history, geography, geometry, etc., the 6-9 year old's imagination has developed to the point that he or she can begin to logistically explain the some concepts and draw conclusions through scientific thinking. The mind of the elementary child functions in a new way. Not only do they seek to know WHAT and WHERE, but they seek to know WHEN, WHY and HOW. All the names and facts acquired from previous learning are used by the child's creative imagination to trace the paths of evolution, mankind's discoveries and inventions and to experience all these ideas in a feeling way. This is often referred to as the AGE OF COSMIC EDUCATION - the age reaching for an introduction to and an overview of everything.
