Science
- The child has learned about the concept of gravity as they observed the apples rolling off the tarp.
- They have also gained an understanding of cause and effect as they saw that placing the apples on the tarp resulted in them rolling off.
To further develop their understanding of gravity and cause and effect, you can encourage the child to explore different objects and materials to see how they roll or slide on different surfaces. You can also introduce simple experiments, such as dropping objects of different weights from different heights, to observe how gravity affects their movement.
