Sensory Observation & Material Properties

Science & Innovation

Your child can use their senses to safely describe objects and classify them by how they feel, look, or sound (e.g., rough, smooth, loud, soft, shiny).

In real life

Walking on a beach, your child collects shells and sorts them into two piles: "These ones are rough and bumpy, but these ones are totally smooth."
