I think it depends on the environment and also the development of the brain. Elementary children are somewhat in a different setting than adolescents. There will always be the peer pressure. In elementary school you are sort of more guided in your learning, but in high school with adolescents, you are guided and then expected to do more on your own. The level of freedom changes. The content matter and the level of the content matter changes. The brain expands and there is more to think about. Not to mention, the puberty comes in which adds a whole other dimension to what is being learned and what is being thought about in children and adolescents.

Children begin to use logic in their thinking during the Concrete Operational Stage according to Piaget's model.
TD in elementary school typically refers to "Talent Development" programs designed to identify and support students with advanced abilities or potential. These programs aim to provide enriched learning experiences, encouraging creativity and critical thinking. They may include specialized curriculum, extracurricular activities, or accelerated learning opportunities to challenge gifted students. Overall, TD programs strive to nurture and develop the unique talents of children.

Elementary children should engage in daily activities that promote their overall development. This includes attending school to participate in structured learning, completing homework to reinforce their understanding, and engaging in physical activity to support their health. Additionally, they should spend time reading or exploring new interests to foster creativity and critical thinking. Social interaction with peers is also essential for developing communication skills and emotional intelligence.
Investigations help children develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a deeper understanding of concepts. It encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Through investigations, children actively engage in the learning process, making connections between ideas and the world around them.

Piaget's theory of cognitive development explains how children's thinking evolves as they interact with their environment. He proposed that children progress through stages of sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational thinking. Piaget emphasized the importance of active engagement with the physical world in learning and believed that children construct knowledge through cognitive processes such as assimilation and accommodation.
