They infer relationships from their observations and experiences and begin to link function with observable properties.</p><p>They observe that changes to objects and events can be large or small and happen quickly or slowly. Students pose questions and make predictions based on their observations and are introduced to ways of organising their observations to identify patterns. They appreciate that science involves observing, asking questions about and describing changes in objects and events.</p><p> Inquiry questions can help excite students’ curiosity and challenge their thinking. Following are examples of inquiry questions that could be used to prompt discussion and exploration:</p><ul><li>Does a fish have a home?</li><li>How do we know what season it is?</li><li>What makes playgrounds fun? How do playground designers come up with ideas?</li><li>How can we tell if something has changed?</li><li>How does science help us care for ourselves and other living things?</li></ul>",

They infer relationships from their observations and experiences and begin to link function with observable properties.They observe that changes to objects and events can be large or small and happen quickly or slowly. Students pose questions and make predictions based on their observations and are introduced to ways of organising their observations to identify patterns. They appreciate that science involves observing, asking questions about and describing changes in objects and events. Inquiry questions can help excite students’ curiosity and challenge their thinking. Following are examples of inquiry questions that could be used to prompt discussion and exploration:Does a fish have a home?How do we know what season it is?What makes playgrounds fun? How do playground designers come up with ideas?How can we tell if something has changed?How does science help us care for ourselves and other living things?",
