Science isn’t just for older students—it can also be a fantastic tool to spark communication in children during speech therapy. Simple science-themed activities encourage curiosity, introduce new vocabulary, and help children describe processes, ask questions, and explain ideas. At OrbRom Center, we creatively integrate early STEM concepts into speech therapy in Phnom Penh to make learning both educational and language-rich.

How Science Supports Speech and Language Goals

Science experiments naturally prompt children to use language. Whether they’re mixing colors, watching a reaction, or making a prediction, they are encouraged to speak, think, and describe. This is especially effective for children with expressive language delays, limited vocabulary, or difficulty forming sentences.

Speech therapists use science activities to target specific goals like:

  • Descriptive language (“The water is blue and fizzy”)

  • Sequencing (“First we pour, then we stir”)

  • Question formation (“What will happen if…?”)

  • Cause and effect reasoning (“It turned red because we added the powder”)

These skills aren’t just useful in therapy—they’re essential for school readiness and everyday conversation.

Making Science Fun and Speech-Focused

At OrbRom Center, therapists adapt science experiments for age and ability level. We keep activities hands-on and engaging while embedding targeted speech and language practice into every step. For example, during a color-mixing activity, children might be prompted to:

  • Name the colors and predict the result

  • Repeat specific sounds and words (“mix, pour, red, blue”)

  • Use full sentences to describe what they observe

This approach keeps children excited to learn and motivated to speak.

Why This Method Works So Well

Children are naturally curious about how things work. When they’re excited, they’re more engaged—and when they’re engaged, they talk more. Science activities create endless opportunities for back-and-forth dialogue, critical thinking, and vocabulary building, all within a fun and supportive environment.

This method also strengthens other important developmental areas such as attention span, following instructions, and social interaction.
