Your child learns what simple science tools are for: a magnifying glass, a balance, a bucket and scoop, and safety goggles. We suggest reading it together.
What children learn in Level 3
- Scientists use tools to help them learn. Let's meet some!
- A magnifying glass helps us look closely. Small things look bigger!
- A balance shows which thing is heavier. The heavier side goes down.
- A bucket and scoop carry sand and water. Goggles keep our eyes safe. Your turn! Point to the tool for looking closely.
- Try it with a grown-up! Find a spoon and a cup. Scoop rice, sand, or water from one cup to another.
