Science includes the introduction of zoology, botany, anatomy, physical science, metrology, physics, anatomy, and environmental science. Children learn classification at various levels, for example living/nonliving, plant/animal, vertebrate/invertebrate, etc. Through the study of botany, children explore nature and learn to identify basic leaf shapes, parts of the plant, and parts of the flower.
Children are encouraged to investigate new areas of exploration using the Scientific Inquiry Method. Through using this method, children learn to understand questions and seek various solutions, think logically and critically, plan and carry out demonstrations, discern cause and effect relationships, manipulate materials, measure with scientific instruments, observe and record what is revealed accurately, interpret and challenge data, and apply knowledge gained.
