Kindergarten students develop an understanding that the world is comprised of living and non-living things. They investigate the relationship between structure and function in living things; plants
Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using a one of six different flours provided. This lesson focuses on one of the data collection
Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using one of six different flours provided. This lesson is the first of three lessons that takes
In this lesson, students will build upon their prior knowledge of observational drawing by adding a digital microscope. They will explore, review photos they take, decide on a question to investigate
This is the first of two lessons on observational drawing as a means of scientific documentation. Students are provided the opportunity to draw a sunflower three different times (from memory, using a
What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate
Students will collaborate to design a school map to include living and nonliving 3 dimensional objects. Students will use a Cubetto or Sphero device to navigate through a student created map
Students will use science skills to engineer habitats for polar regions as they learn about the polar regions through hands on experiences.
Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Children will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life
In this activity students work together to create a model to show the relationship between plants and animals and where they live using play doh or clay. Students will explore things around them and
Students will use engineering skills, critical thinking, math and balance, and collaboration to build a home for a visiting Hedgehog. The materials are straws, string, wooden blocks, material/fabric
Today we are engineering marble runs. To do this we will: Share ideas Brainstorm and sketch plans Count and measure Collaborate and communicate effectively with others
Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will: Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans Build
Today we will learn how ice cream is made and then make some ourselves. To do this we will: Listen to an informational text describing how ice cream made and compare that information with our prior
Students will color a penguin with crayons and then spray water on their artwork. They'll observe how the water repels off of their paper. Discuss with students how the wax from the crayons keeps the
Students will explore the different types of mouth parts and how their feeding needs are met. Students will 'pretend' to be insects with different mouth types and collect data on their success on
In this lesson, students will learn about the role of a pollinator. They will have the opportunity to practice being a bee using their proboscis, wrapped candy and cheese balls.
In this lesson, students will watch a video discussing how birds have different beaks depending on what they eat. Students will then have the opportunity to examine the differences in chickens and
Have you ever wondered how ducks stay warm and dry while swimming in cold water?
Students will construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.
