 Through this unit children learn about their senses and how they can use them to explore the world around them. Experimental and investigative work focuses on: · exploring and using senses · observing and describing living things, and communicating what happened in their work. Within this unit there are opportunities for children to consider how to treat each other and other living things with care and sensitivity. This unit takes approximately 9 hours.  ||   This is the introductory unit and lays the foundation for work relating to the study of humans and other animals.
