Anubhava believes in giving children freedom to choose experiments. But this freedom comes with a boundary. Children are allowed to choose experiments in a set which is defined based on the level of concepts in any topic. Initially these sets are identified based on the fundamental concepts in number of topics. Gradually children are exposed to sets specific to each topic.
Sometimes based on the child's development need, facilitator helps the child to choose experiments.
Children are encouraged to do beyond what is mentioned in the instruction sheet. This is encouraged further by having a section in their observation report to mention the steps tried other than what is mentioned in the chart and to explain their observation in such a scenario.
Children have the freedom to repeat an experiment as many times as they want in the process of their exploration.

It would be very nice if you can also tell us what the children are saying/ feeling when you introduce an experiment for the first time. What kind of questions did they ask? What kind of challenges do you encounter?
