For Prep (Foundation/Kindergarten) level homeschooling, science and history are best approached through hands-on exploration, stories, and observation, not formal lessons. Below is an Australian Curriculum-aligned guide with ideas, activities, and themes to make it fun and age-appropriate. ## 🌿 Science (Foundation / Prep)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/690f0fef-1f94-8008-9c5f-49c97539f5c8&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: 🌿 Science (Foundation / Prep)") Focus: Exploring the natural world through senses, play, and observation.

Would you like me to put this into a weekly or term-by-term plan (e.g. 10-week homeschool schedule for Prep Science & History)? I can format it with activities, book lists, and links to Australian resources.
