Grade K temperature making predictions cause and effect weather snowman

shared by Mary Miller on 11 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Living in sunny Southern California, we don’t really have opportunities to make snowmen, so using a simple pre-printed sheet with the outline of a puddle and an overturned paper bowl the kids made their own melty, sunshine snowmen. They put the usual accessories on, with the exception of the sunglasses, and then wrote a sentence about where their snowman should move to or what happened to him. A lot of bang for the buck.

      K.2.3=Describe in words and pictures the changes in weather from month to month and season to season K.NS.3=Generate questions and make observations about natural processes.  This activity could be extended for special needs children by allowing them to explain to the teacher what they are thinking, and then the teacher could help the student express themselves through writing.  Kindergarteners don't know how to write very well yet, anyway, so they will probably need a lot of help and creative teachers to understand their written work.

    In this activity, students make a melting snowman out of paper, then they write about the snowman.  For example, they might say why the snowman is melting.  This activity incorporates a lot of language arts, but it also allows young children to think scientifically and notice things about their environment, such as weather and temperature.

      Adaptations: Activities could be completed alone and not as part of 5 day unit if time did not permit. Experiments could be completed in small groups or modeled explicitly by the teacher.

      Use of graphs and graphic organizers could be varied depending on ability of students.

      Extension: This is a science project heavy on language arts (writing). Allowing ELL students to draw more pictures may make this project more memorable for these students.

      Once students have determined what soil is good for plants, students could test different plant seeds. Compare and contrast what soil works best for different plants.

      Standard: 1.NS.2 - Observe, describe and ask questions about soil components and properties.

    This is a five day unit for the study of soil. Students will identify different properties of soil through exploration. They will tell which kind of soil is best for plant growth and list supporting reasons. They will document what they learned in a science notebook with diagrams, labels, and descriptive words.
