Science topics for ages 5–6
Living things, materials, forces, energy and Earth — taught as things that happen rather than things to memorise, and pitched at the year the child is actually in.
First-year school work, written to be read aloud. Short sentences, everything a toy the child touches, and nothing timed or scored.
