- Observing, identifying, describing, sorting and classifying objects.
- Introduction to matter though explorations with solids and liquids.
- The sun, moon, clouds, birds, airplanes and other objects in the sky.
- Behaviors, structures, and lifestyles of living organisms.
- Changes in the weather and weather safety.
- Technology and the way things work.
