LIFE SCIENCE

Living things, close up.

Living things give children opportunities to observe, compare, and ask questions.

TRY TOGETHER AT HOME

A small investigation

Look closely at a leaf. Sketch what you notice, then compare it with a different leaf. What is similar? What changes?

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.
