Science

Science

• The student learned about the water cycle through a hands-on experiment, understanding the concepts of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
• They discovered the basics of plant biology by observing and documenting the growth of a seed into a small plant, learning about germination and photosynthesis in the process.
• They explored the concept of buoyancy by conducting a simple float or sink experiment, gaining a basic understanding of density and volume.
• Through observation and measurement, the student learned about the properties of different types of rocks, including their color, texture, and hardness.

For continued development, encourage the student to apply their newfound knowledge outside the classroom. For example, on a nature walk, they can observe various plants and identify their different parts and functions. Additionally, they can engage in experiments related to buoyancy and rock properties using everyday objects found at home.
