topic plan

Science

• The child learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, including the stages of egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly.
• The child learned about different types of weather and how they can affect the environment.
• The child learned about the five senses and how they help us explore and understand the world around us.
• The child learned about the basic needs of plants and how they grow.

For continued development, encourage the child to observe and document changes in the environment, such as tracking the growth of a plant or observing the weather patterns over a week. You can also introduce simple experiments or hands-on activities related to these concepts, such as creating a sensory bin to explore the five senses or planting seeds in different conditions to see how they grow.
