Earth

Science

• The child learned about the different layers of the Earth: crust, mantle, and core.
• They discovered how tectonic plates move and cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
• They explored the water cycle and learned about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
• They discovered the importance of conservation and learned about ways to protect the Earth's resources.

For continued development, encourage the child to create a model of the Earth using clay or playdough, labeling the different layers. They can also research and write a report on a famous volcano or earthquake and present it to the class. Additionally, they can participate in hands-on experiments to observe the water cycle in action, such as creating a mini water cycle terrarium.
