Science

Here are some examples of what the early learning and development standards might look like in our Club Tora science center:

​

Physical Science:

• Uses tools to investigate properties of materials : magnets, scales, microscopes, eye droppers and magnifying glasses.

• Predicts how objects will move or sound based on their properties.

• Observes and describes changes in shadows or water over time.

 

Life Science:

• Identifies basic parts of plants and animals : sunflowers, stems, leaves, roots, fur, feathers and more.

• Life cycle of a Monarch butterfly.

• Observes and describes basic needs of living things : food, water, air, shelter.

• Sorts living things into categories based on observable characteristics.

 

Earth and Space Science:

• Describes and compares weather patterns : sunny, rainy, windy, snowy.

• Observes and describes changes in the sky throughout the day.

• Identifies and models natural features of the Earth: mountains, rivers, hills, oceans.
