Sounds can be loud. Sounds can be quiet. We use our ears to hear all kinds of sounds. But how is sound made? Let’s investigate to find out about sound!

Scientists put things into groups so they are easier to study. Materials have different properties. What are they, and how they are grouped? Let’s investigate materials!

Eagles, bees and bats all fly. But a bee is an insect. A bat is a mammal. And an eagle is a bird! Why are these animals sorted into different groups? Let’s investigate animal classification!

Plants make pollen so more plants can grow. The pollen needs to get from plant to plant. How does this happen? Let’s investigate pollination!

Animals are living things. They need certain things to grow and live. What are they? Let’s investigate what animals need to survive!

Some animals live in water. Some animals live on land. The land that animals live on can be very different. What makes a place the right home for an animal? Let’s investigate habitats!
