What are manipulative skills?
Manipulative skills help us use science tools the right way. We must be careful and gentle.
Key idea
We use tools carefully, keep them clean, and put them back in the right place.
Some science tools
- A magnifying glass helps us see small things.
- A beaker holds water.
- A ruler helps us measure length.
Using tools well
Hold tools with care. Do not drop them. After we finish, we clean the tools and keep them safely.
Remember
- Hold tools gently.
- Keep tools clean.
- Put tools back in the right place.
