Abstract
Students learn about the properties of matter in Grade VI and its particulate nature in Grade VIII. But can they connect these concepts with observations and experiences of ‘air’ from their everyday world? Can we use an empty tumbler and an inflated balloon to offer visual evidence of these properties? Explore these questions through the articles and classroom resources in our theme section ‘Materials Around Us’.

Abstract
The articles in this issue are broadly based on the two aspects of play in learning – the innumerable lessons that are learnt from play – teamwork, strategy, inclusion, respect, sharing, handling fights, settling arguments, addressing bullying, and second, how play can be used as pedagogy for circular learning as well as structured activities such as educational videos and unstructured ones like pretend play. The idea behind both is to nurture the free spirit with which child must learn.
