Knowledge explained to kids

Knowledge is a state of awareness or understanding of something, either acquired through experience or education. It can also refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. There are different types of knowledge, such as: -Declarative knowledge: This is knowledge about something, such as facts or information. It can be either positive (e.g. I know that the Earth is round) or negative (e.g. I know that I don’t know how to speak French). -Procedural knowledge: This is knowledge about how to do something, such as a skill or a task. It can be either simple (e.g. I know how to ride a bike) or complex (e.g. I know how to perform a surgery). -Conditional knowledge: This is knowledge about when or under what conditions something is true or false. For example, I know that if I touch a hot stove, I will get burned. -Contextual knowledge: This is knowledge about the context in which something happens or exists. For example, I know that my culture values honesty. -Intuitive knowledge: This is knowledge that we have without consciously thinking about it. For example, we know that the sky is blue or that 2+2=4. -Explicit knowledge: This is knowledge that we are consciously aware of and can articulate. For example, I know that the capital of France is Paris. -Tacit knowledge: This is knowledge that we have but cannot easily express in words. For example, I know how to ride a bike but I couldn’t explain to you exactly how I do it.
