Exploration & Early Science Inquiry
Your child experiments with objects to see how they move, fall, balance, or react when forces change.
In real life
Playing in a pool or bathtub, your child drops a plastic boat and a heavy stone to see which one floats and which one sinks. They love pushing buttons, stacking blocks until they fall, and seeing how wheels roll.
Ages are the anchor. Grade names are Ivy Waters stage labels for this framework, not a claim about any national school system.
