physical characteristics of living things
The physical characteristics of living things include the color, shape, structure and different components of living things. By observing real creatures, young children can recognize the typical characteristics of common creatures
basic needs of living things
Animals need food, water, air, and a safe place to live, and so do people; most plants need food, air, and sunlight. Young children can learn through daily life experiences to understand some basic needs shared by living things, and they also need to understand that they have different specific needs.
simple behavior of living things
Animals find food, build shelter, avoid danger, etc. in unique ways. Plants will show certain behavioral patterns. Young children can learn about various behaviors of living things through observation, reading, discussion, etc., such as foraging methods, self-protection methods, reproduction methods, etc.
biological life cycle
Living things go through a certain life cycle, including birth, growth, maturity, reproduction and death. Young children have some experience in cultivating plants and raising animals. Use these experiences to let children feel the process of life and the different lengths and details of different organisms and their life cycles.
biological diversity and species
Young children must be able to understand that the creatures in nature are diverse and varied. Children of different ages can observe different creatures.
The relationship between living things and the environment
relationship between organisms
The relationship between animals and plants, including the relationship between animals and animals, and the relationship between animals and plants. It can help young children understand the friends and enemies among animals and gain a preliminary understanding of the feeding habits of different animals.
Relationships between animals, plants and humans. It can let young children understand how humans use animals and plants in their lives, and also let them understand how humans protect animals and plants.
The relationship between living things and the environment
Interrelationships between animal, plant diversity and the environment
Different animals and plants live in different environments, allowing young children to explore which animals live in the water and which plants live in the water.
The relationship between the morphological structure of animals and plants and the environment
On the basis of observation, we can explore the differences in the morphological structures of animals and plants in different environments, as well as their relationship with the environment.
The relationship between the growth of animals and plants and the environment
Children can be allowed to explore the environmental conditions required for the growth of animals and plants during planting and raising activities, or through experiments. And a preliminary understanding of the impact of animals and plants on the environment, especially the purification effect of plants on the environment
The relationship between animals, plants and seasonal changes
For example, explore how animals and plants spend the winter when winter comes; what changes happen to animals and plants when spring comes?
Technology and Engineering
Common technological products and their functions in children’s lives

Based on children's exploration of scientific phenomena, they use tools and materials to make simple technological toys. Children not only gain the experience of making things with their own hands, but also gain specific operating skills, which is a direct experience of technology.
Protection of natural ecological environment
Children should be trained to understand the relationship between people and things in the natural environment as friends from an early age, and to pay attention to and protect the surrounding environment from an early age. Education on the relationship between man and the natural environment should be infiltrated and reflected in the understanding of animals, plants and non-living things in nature.
Children can be properly introduced to the pollution status and hazards of the surrounding living environment, and phenomena and events that children can directly observe and investigate can be selected to provide intuitive education to children. We must also introduce to young children the practical activities of human beings to protect the environment, as well as the actions that young children can participate in to protect the environment, and lead them to participate in practical activities within their ability. Let children develop good behavioral habits to protect the environment
Introduce young children to stories about scientists they are familiar with. If possible, you can ask nearby scientists to tell stories to young children. This is actually a kind of enlightenment of scientific values. It can stimulate children's love for science and their admiration for scientists, and even trigger children's desire to create science and use science to benefit mankind.
