"Observation skills are essential life skills that should be developed in young children in their earliest years.  Observation is not just “seeing”, it connotes using all our 5 senses as well as instruments that can go beyond the reach of our senses, to help us gather information and make sense of the world we live in. This set of inquiry lessons aim to help children discover the importance of their 5 senses in making observations. "
