Science

• The child learned about the water cycle and how water evaporates from the Earth's surface, condenses in the atmosphere, and falls back to the ground as precipitation.
• They learned about the different states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases, and how substances can change from one state to another through heating or cooling.
• They explored the concept of force and motion by experimenting with different types of pushes and pulls, and observed how objects move or change direction based on these forces.
• The child learned about the basic needs of living things, such as food, water, air, and shelter, and how these needs vary for different organisms.

To further develop their understanding of science, encourage the child to engage in hands-on experiments and investigations. They can try growing plants from seeds, observing and documenting changes in their growth over time. They can also explore the natural world by going on nature walks and identifying different types of plants, animals, and their habitats. Encourage them to ask questions and seek answers through research or by conducting simple experiments. Additionally, they can keep a science journal to record their observations and findings.
