Anak mempunyai keingintahuan yang besar yang harus di permudah oleh orang tua dan guru sehingga anak bisa mempelajari sesuatu tanpa di paksa sejak usia dini. Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi metode pembelajaran sains yang kurang menarik minat anak, monoton, dan selalu menggunakan permainan yang cenderung praktis dan instan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengupayakan peningkatan kemampuan belajar sains melalui permainan terapung dan tenggelam dengan memakai media telur. Metodedari penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen. Hasil penelitian yang di pakai oleh guru dalam kegiatan sains ini telah sesuai dengan tema dan sub tema. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah kelompok A TK Kartika Siwi yang berjumlah 18 anak. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran sains dengan permainan terapung dan tenggelam dengan media telur dapat meningkatkan kemampuan pembelajaran sains anak usia dini dengan nilai rata-rata pretest 5,5 dan posttest 7,7. Dari hasil penelitian ini disarankan kepada guru untuk dapat meningkatkan kemampuan pembelajaran sains bagi anak usia dini dengan metode permainan yang bervariasi dan berinovasi sehingga dapat menarik minat anak untuk belajar sains.Children have great curiosity to permudah by parents and teachers so that children could learn something without being in force since an early age. This event will be based on research method of learning science the less interest children, monotonous, and always use games that tend to be practical and instant. The purpose of this research is to seek an increase in the ability of learning science through games and sunk by using medium eggs. Metodedari research is a method of experimentation. Research results are used by the teacher in this science activities were in accordance with the themes and sub themes. The population in this research is A group of KINDERGARTEN Kartika Siwi totalling 18. Based on the results of the research show that learning science with a floating and sink game with medium eggs can improve early childhood science learning with an average rating of 5.5 and pretest posttest 7.7. From the results of this research are recommended to teachers to improve the learning of science for early childhood with games varying methods and innovating so as to attract children to study science.

Over the past three decades, our understanding of science learning in early childhood has improved exponentially and today we have a strong empirically based understanding of science experiences for children aged three to six years. However, our understanding of science learning as it occurs for children from birth to three years, is limited. We do not know enough about how scientific thinking develops across the first years of life. Identifying what we do know about science experiences for our youngest learners within the birth to three period specifically, is critical. This paper reviews the literature, and for the first time includes children in the birth to three period. The results are contextualised through a broader review of early childhood science education for children aged from birth to six years. Findings illustrated that the empirical research on science concept formation in the early years, has focused primarily, on children aged three to six years. The tendency of research to examine the process of concept formation in the birth to three period is also highlighted. A lack of empirical understanding of science concept formation in children from birth to three is evident. The eminent need for research in science in infancy–toddlerhood is highlighted.
