It's a GR8 Day For Science! + Links, FREEBIES, & Discounts!

You asked for it...

Here are the highlights from my science presentation at the California Kindergarten Conference in Northern CA this month.

5 Senses Pre-science:

I introduced each of the 5 senses at the small-group table so each child got to manipulate the realia and learn how to take care of the materials before they became part of the science center. 

Their favorite activity was getting to trace their name with white glue and sprinkle it with powdered Jell-O. When it dried, it became a tactile scratch-&-sniff reminder of how to spell their name. (Great to use this with sight words too!)

Matter: The Power of Air

We got to make our snowmen float on air!

We had so much fun making our

We also had fun with these paper helicopters. CLICK HERE

We tested different variables: size, weight, even color!

Oh, and the bubble experiment was so much fun!

More...

We explored the properties of water, weather experiments that demonstrate the water cycle, and we learned this song:

(To the tune of "Oh, My Darlin'")

Evaporation,

Condensation,

Precipitation on my mind.

It is just the water cycle

and it happens all the time!

We talked about seasons, plants, and animal life cycles.
