HUMAN SCIENCE

Discover ourselves.

Learning about people encourages children to notice their senses and describe their experiences.

TRY TOGETHER AT HOME

A small investigation

Choose an everyday object. Describe its colour, shape, and texture. Compare how different senses help you describe it.

Think like a scientist

  • Describe what you notice.
  • Ask a question and make a prediction.
  • Explain what you discovered, using your observations.

Adapt the activity to your child’s age and interests. Ask the classroom teacher how it connects with current learning.
