Science
- The child learned about the different types of marine animals that live in the ocean, such as fish, crabs, and seashells.
- They observed the properties of sand, water, and waves, understanding that sand is solid, water is liquid, and waves move in a repetitive pattern.
- The child learned about the importance of sunscreen and sun protection while being exposed to the sun at the beach.
- They discovered the concept of buoyancy by observing objects that float or sink in the water.
Continued development can be encouraged by providing opportunities for the child to explore more about marine animals through books, videos, or visits to aquariums. They can also engage in beach-related sensory activities like creating sand art or experimenting with water and different materials to understand more about properties and buoyancy.
