Exploration & Early Science Inquiry
Your child actively investigates the physical properties of their environment using sight, touch, and sound, identifying what is soft, hard, wet, dry, cold, or warm.
In real life
Hands deep in the mud, your child announces, "Squishy!" Then they find a stone, tap it, and say, "This one's hard."
