      Adaptation - This project could be adapted to fit kindergarten through third grade classes as it deals with a central theme throughout the grade levels, which is observation of a living organism with greater depth progressing through the years.

      Extension: Older students could use this opportunity to practice making lab reports for fourth grade. Students could be introduced to the steps of the scientific process. This would incorporate writing as well as the use of science and technology if any part of the report is completed on the computer.

    Students will plant seeds, watch them grow, measure them with nonstandard objects. In addition, students will describe the bean's growth in a journal and record the growth on a calendar.

      Expansion: This could be done both inside and outside.  Students could begin with objects in their desks and discuss their comparisons with their peers, allowing for more communication.

      ENL: ENL students can work with peers who can help them translate and understand description concepts.  Practicing describing vocabulary is useful not just for their math understanding, but for their understanding of English.

    In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, taller, wider, and narrower. These concepts are not only important for kindergarten math, they also encourage children to become better scientific observers. So find a space to roam-a sandy beach, a wooded park, or a lakeside shore, all offer ample materials to help your child understand size comparison words.
