How do Earth's changes affect humans? Pupils learn about physical and chemical changes on Earth and how they lead to erosion, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Using the text, they also explore the concepts of electricity and magnetism by examining images and diagrams. Finally, they differentiate between inherited and learned traits by exploring heredity and adaptations with questioning and observation.
