      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Extension: This could be extended by turning it into a research project. Students could research specific instruments, then with classroom materials or materials from home, students could construct homemade instruments resembling what they researched. Knowledge of sounds waves and vibrations would be used to create working instruments.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    In this investigation, students will observe and experiment with how sounds are made. They will use various elementary music instruments as well as tuning forks, combs, rubber bands, books, bottles, etc... They will collect data on how their sounds were made in their Science journals. Following a discussion of their findings, they will generate questions about what they would like to find out about sound. They will then return to their investigations to observe how their original sounds can be changed and record this data in their journals as well. Finally, there will be another discussion to share their information.

      This activity allows itself to adapt to all sorts of different learners, because it gives everyone a chance to work at their own pace.  For example, fast finishers can work to see how many colors they can find in nature and document those observations in their journals.  Slower students can be allowed to take their time and focus on one or two colors.  This is perfectly fine as long as everyone is learning and participating. K.NS.1=Use a scientific notebook to record predictions, questions and observations about data with pictures, numbers or in words K.NS.6=Make and use simple equipment and tools to gather data and extend the senses.
  • Mary Miller on 11 Feb 13
     
    This activity is a great starter activity for a science lesson about making observations and using a scientific journal.  In this activity, students use paint chip cards to go on a "scavenger hunt."  This is an outdoor activity, and it probably works best in fall, spring, or summer.  Students try to match up the colors on the cards to colors in nature.  It could be extended by having students bring their notebooks with them and drawing pictures of items in nature that are their favorite colors.  It is really good for exercise and fostering a love of nature and the outdoors as well.  It is great for naturalists.

      These experiments should be conducted with a science notebook so students make predictions and observations, draw pictures, and record their findings. They are fun experiments to do in class, but they should be tied into a lesson about why the things happen in the experiment.  Like I have been noting in many of my science lesson activities, know your students and their capabilities and make sure that they understand what is going on.  Lessons that involve the student observing and note-taking in a science journal allow them to work at their own pace and according to their own abilities, so the nature of the assignment means that it is already adapted for all different learners. 5.NS.1 Make predictions and formulate testable questions. 5.NS.3 Plan and carry out investigations-often over a period of several lessons-as a class, in small groups or independently.

    Learn about yeast with this fun science experiment!  Students will love this activity because it is very hands on, and they love to see slimy liquids that bubble and grow.  This would grab their attention and allow them to make observations and predictions about what is happening to the yeast, and then they can test those predictions by experimenting with ratios of yeast to other ingredients.  I did the balloon activity with my first graders and they loved it!  But it should really be reinforced with a lesson about why what is happening is going on, otherwise it is just something cool to see.

      Mary Miller on 15 Feb 13
       
      An extension for this activity would be to have students who seem to be enjoying it but are moving ahead of the group try the growing experiment with different plants.  These students could then compare the lima bean growth to that of other plants. Students who are struggling, or maybe who have had a plant die could work together in groups and share plants to observe and experiment with. 4.NS.7 Keep accurate records in a notebook during investigations and communicate findings to others using graphs, charts, maps and models through oral and written reports. 4.3.4 Describe a way that a given plant or animal might adapt to a change arising from a human or non-human impact on its environment.
  • Mary Miller on 13 Feb 13
     
    This site shows what should be included on student worksheets for this activity, and it also tells you what you should be doing every day for this unit of study.  This allows students to see first-hand the different parts of plants and to observe plant growth as it happens.  I like that it includes both dissection of the seed, or plant embryo, and growth of a plant.  Students should use their science notebooks to record the stages of growth of the plants and to make scientific drawings of what they see.

      Standard 6.NS.1 - Understand that the properties and behavior of matter can be explained by a model that depicts particles representing atoms or molecules in motion. Extension: Once students understand properties of different liquids, they can think how to manipulate those liquids and their properties. One example would be to heat up one liquid to several different temperatures and see how they interact. Adaptation: Teacher could split students into groups of 3-4 and have them stack liquids on their own. Students could bring in several liquids from home (all approved) and try stacking them based on the observed properties.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    Students will learn how to stack liquids one on top of the other. They will observe how the liquids do not mix together because they have different densities. Students will be able to identify characteristics of different liquids.

Students who are having a hard time getting a handle on the concepts presented in this lesson could be given additional time.  Really, any adaptation you make to this activity for slower learners would be a good thing for all students, so additional pictures and resources should be shared with all students.  Time is the only thing I could think of that could become an issue for students, so slower students could be given more time and one-on-one teacher help for this activity.
  • Mary Miller on 13 Feb 13
     
    This activity uses "the cloud book" by Tomie DePaola to introduce the different types of clouds to students.  As an add on, the teacher could pull up photos of the different cloud types on the computer and show them on the overhead for students.  They should also discuss the purpose of these clouds and why there are different types.  I chose this lesson because it allows students to do a hands-on activity where they make pictures of clouds using cotton balls. This is not your average note-taking, textbook reading science lesson.
  • Susie Beesley on 18 Feb 13
     
    Clouds and weather are usually classified under Earth Science and you cited an Earth Science standard, so you should probably tag it as such.

    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.
