Living Things

• The student learned about the life cycle of plants and animals, including the stages of growth and reproduction.
• They observed how living things obtain and use energy, such as through photosynthesis in plants or feeding in animals.
• They explored the basic needs of living things, including food, water, and air.
• The student learned about the different habitats and how they support various forms of life.

Magnets and Forces

• The student learned about the different types of forces such as push, pull, and friction.
• They explored how magnets attract or repel certain materials and investigated the concept of magnetic poles.
• They learned about the practical applications of magnets in everyday life, such as in compasses or fridge magnets.
• They understood the concept of magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials.

For continued development, encourage the student to conduct simple experiments at home using household items to explore the concepts further. For example, they can observe how different materials are affected by magnets, or they can grow a small plant and document its stages of growth.
