Students demonstrate their scientific skills and processes by observing, conducting investigations, and communicating their observations to others. Animals in the environment Through observing animals in a variety of environments such as terrariums and aquariums, students describe interactions, behaviours, structures, and changes that can affect animals' life cycles. This enhances their understanding of how organisms, objects, and systems interact with each other. Students can demonstrate their knowledge of animals in the environment by talking, recording, and collecting information about them. Students demonstrate their scientific skills and processes when they make observations, formulate questions for investigations, and communicate findings to their peers.
Students examine the structure and function of the organs involved in hearing and speech.
They identify what the organs require to work, investigate and explain ways to protect these organs from damage, and consider how technology has affected these organs. Students can demonstrate their knowledge of hearing and speech by drawing pictures and talking about how sound and hearing are related. Students demonstrate their scientific skills and processes when they follow instructions, collaborate with others and make predictions. Physical Science Physical Science is the study of matter and energy, and their interactions. By using the skills, processes, and attitudes of science, students build a foundation for their understanding of the physical world.
