Life Science is the study of living things, their structures, and how they interact with each other and the environment. Through inquiry learning, students explore plants, animals, humans, and ecosystems by asking questions, running experiments, and making observations. Instead of only memorizing terms, they investigate real-life examples, compare systems, and reflect on how life processes work. This method builds curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving while encouraging responsibility for the natural world. By connecting science to everyday experiences, Life Science becomes more than facts—it becomes a way to understand and care for life on Earth.
