"Surf into Science 1" is divided into five sections:
1. Motion
2. Living Things
3. Growth
4. Seasons
5. Just for Fun
- Motion: Students are encouraged to think about the different ways things, animals, and plants move. Direction and the compass are introduced first and then students interact by determining in which direction the whales are swimming. Penny the Puffin™ and Old Tom the Turtle™ demonstrate levels and slopes and rough and smooth surfaces.
- Living Things: Students distinguish between living and non-living things and discover how living things depend on one another for survival. They learn to identify an animal by its animal track. As they observe a baby growing into an adult, an egg growing into a butterfly, and a seed growing into a vegetable, students master the concept of changes in living things.
- Growth: Students learn that all living things are made up of cells and that growth occurs when cells divide to produce new cells. The different types of plant cells and the important parts of a tree are demonstrated. Students investigate what plants, animals, and people need in order to grow, e.g., food, water and air.
- Seasons: Students are introduced to the basic concepts underlying the four seasons. After studying pictures of the four seasons, students are encouraged to distinguish between them. Percy the Penguin™ writes a weather journal for students to read and then helps the students to write their own. The concepts of animals migrating, hibernating, and seasonally changing colours are introduced in this section.
- Just for Fun :
1. Pick a Picture - Level: A & B
2. Miss and Match - Level: A & B
