Your child will explore how sound is produced by vibrations and how the size and rate of vibrations relate to loudness and the pitch of a sound. They’ll also learn about animal life cycles, such as that of a butterfly, and how animals adapt to their environments. They’ll problem-solve and build structures, using various materials they have tested for strength and stability. Your child will also use simple tests and tools to describe and classify rocks and minerals based on characteristics like colour and hardness.
