Science
- The child has learned about light and vision by observing how things appear differently when viewed through the PVC pipe.
- They have also developed an understanding of magnification and optics as they see objects closer and sometimes upside down through the pipe.
- By exploring with the PVC pipe, the child has engaged in hands-on experimenting and exploration, fostering an early curiosity for science.
Encourage further exploration by providing different types and lengths of PVC pipes for the child to experiment with. You can also introduce the concept of colors by placing colored filters at one end of the pipe and letting the child observe the world through them.
