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! Jon
Board and Alan Cross
