Description
Tap into your KS1 children’s inquisitive nature about our world and encourage scientific exploration with this carefully selected Enquiry Resource Collection 5-7yrs. Our ready-made enquiry provision offers a range of investigative resources, chosen to encourage effective questioning and early research skills as children examine, experiment with ideas, develop their understanding of the world and also hypothesize to reach their own conclusions.
Including a range of enquiry equipment and tools, complete with wooden label holders, measuring apparatus, magnifying glasses, collection pots and magnets, these fascinating and inspiring resources will promote the curriculum through child-led, adult supported play. As well as revealing key scientific concepts, children will develop their natural curiosity and enquiry skills as they learn to use simple equipment to observe, record and relate their findings.
The bean plant life cycle, ladybird life cycle and frog life cycle open up discussions around how living creatures and plants grow, and how their form develops and changes. The useful laminated life cycle sheets provide opportunities to draw their own life cycles and to position each life cycle within the collection in the correct order.
The enquiry collection includes a collection of human, animal and bug x-rays for children to study. Pair with an A2 Lightboard for extended learning opportunities.
Broader learning and development opportunities are also addressed as children develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and acquire purposeful vocabulary, by discussing how things happen and why things work.
A fantastic set to inspire the researchers and inventors of the future!
