Science
- The child has learned about the basic needs of living things, such as the need for water and food.
- They have explored the diversity of bugs and the characteristics of different habitats like the desert, forest, and wetlands.
- They have gained an understanding of the properties of solids and liquids and their ability to change with heating and cooling.
- They have learned to classify objects based on material, texture, shape, color, and size, as well as identify living and nonliving things.
For continued development, encourage the child to explore nature in their surroundings to observe and identify different living things, and to conduct simple experiments related to the concepts learned, such as growing crystals or experimenting with hot and cold packs. Additionally, engaging in nature walks, planting and caring for a small garden, and observing animal behavior can further enhance their understanding of the subjects.
