Introduction

Welcome to Stage 1 of Science. We hope you will enjoy it. We know you will

find the science topics interesting and the activities fun.

You are going to learn about:

humans

plants

materials

forces

sound

planet Earth.

We know that Stage 1 learners love to learn science and learn about the

world. We will be asking you to talk about what you know already.

We know you can do science yourself, so each unit has lots of practical

activities and investigations for you to try. You will need to ask questions

and talk about ways to find out the answers. You will need to look at things

carefully, talk and think about what you see and what you are learning.

Don’t be afraid of being wrong. This is an important part

of learning new things. Scientists often get things

wrong at first but then they find the answer!

There are also some projects where you

can find out how science is used in the

world around you and how the ideas of

scientists have changed over time.

We hope you enjoy thinking and working

like a scientist!
