Young Explorers

Hello, little scientist! Science is about looking closely, asking questions and trying safe ideas.

How the lab speaks to you

Short sentences, familiar objects, pictures, colours and one small step at a time.

  1. LookWhat can you see, hear or touch safely?
  2. GuessWhat do you think will happen? It is okay if your guess is different.
  3. TryFollow one small step with a trusted adult nearby.
  4. TellPoint, draw or use your own words to show what happened.

What you will explore

Mathematics: Count seeds, bottle tops or blocks. Make pairs, shapes and simple patterns.

Science: Explore water, soil, plants, light, sound, magnets and things that move.

Making: Build simple models with paper, cups, string and other safe everyday materials.

What good learning looks like: You succeed when you look carefully, try safely and explain what you noticed—not only when your first answer is right.

P4–P7Upper primary

Junior Investigators

You are ready to investigate ideas more independently, compare evidence and explain why a result makes sense.

How the lab speaks to you

Clear scientific vocabulary, real-life problems, careful measurements and explanations that respect growing learners.

  1. QuestionIdentify the problem and what you want to discover.
  2. PredictState the result you expect and give a reason.
  3. InvestigateChange one factor, keep the others fair and record what happens.
  4. ExplainUse your observations or measurements to support a conclusion.

What you will explore

Mathematics: Use fractions, measurement, area, perimeter, data and patterns to solve practical problems.

Physical science: Investigate forces, energy, matter, electricity, magnets, light and sound.

Life and Earth science: Study living things, ecosystems, soil, weather, water and the Earth–Sun system.

What good learning looks like: A strong investigation is safe, repeatable and supported by evidence. A surprising result is useful when you check it honestly.
