Make a Soda Bottle Greenhouse | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      Kindergarten activity for Life Science...you can also chart the growth of the plants while going over plant parts
    • Jessica Buell
       
      Adaptions: be sure to go over vocabulary. Also, you can chart and draw picture step by step of how the students are to put together their "greenhouses" Extensions: You can extend this to higher grades by discussing the water cycle and demonstrating how the water cycle created moisture in the greenhouses in order to water the seeds. Also, if possible you can plan a fiend trip to a greenhouse, (a lot of times these are FREE and they will do demonstrations and age appropriate activities with the students!)

      I have changed this to a Kindergarten activity
    • Jessica Buell
       
      Adaptions: you can adapt this lesson by having ELL and special need students find the flowers and sketch them for their group, then they can assist the group in identifying the habitat and descriptions. (This will help ELL students enhance their vocabulary) Extensions: You can extend this activiy by having students create a venn diagram and identify similarities and differences. Older grades can also extend the activity by researching their plants/flowers more (locations it is found, type of flower, how effecte environment...etc) and creating a poster board that they will present in the class.

Plants and Water | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      Life Science K.3.1 "Observe and draw physical features of common plants and animals." This activity can be adjusted for gifted students by allowing them to label their picture with the appropriate words for a plant. Using words such as "roots" or "xylem" would be excellent! This activity can be used for older grades by having the students compare two different celery stalks - one with water, and one without water. The students can then make a table or chart to compare and contrast the two different celery stalks.
  •  
    Students observe a stalk of celery over one to two days. The celery is placed into water (food coloring is added to the water). The students then record their observations about the water moving up the celery stalk. This is a great way for students to understand how plants transport water from their roots to their leaves!

Leaf Tokens | Science Craft Projects for Kids | FamilyFun - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      For a bonus project, have students ask their parents to help them learn about thier leaf. They can find out a few simple facts, draw a picture, write a sentence, and be the teacher for the rest of the class.
  •  
    Take a nature walk and have students pick one kind of leaf. Then follow these directions on how to make an imprint with clay. They can take home a "Leaf Token" as a keepsake at the end of the unit.

Explore Blood Science! - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Students who finish early could try drawing the structures of blood.  If the teacher can obtain the materials, looking through a microscope at real slides of blood and draw that for a further extension.
  •  
    This activity lets students create a simple and safe model of human blood.  It provides a way to make something microscopic easier for children to understand.

Build a Wormery - 1 views

    • Brandon Appleton
       
      When having students record their observations prepare two rubrics that have different requirements for students. One that challenges students in their writing and another that challenges them to draw and write less about their observations 
  •  
    Easy experiment to do in class that requires some good record keeping and simple observation of what the worms will do. Easy pets to have in the room.
