Continued Development Tips: Encourage the child to further explore the Earth by conducting experiments related to the topics learned. They can create a model of the Earth's layers using clay or playdough and label the different parts. They can also conduct simple experiments to observe the water cycle in action, such as creating a mini water cycle in a closed container. Encourage them to collect rocks and minerals they find and identify them using a guidebook or online resources.
