Science for Kindergarten
The plan is to use Sonlight Science K (experiment book, dvd, and kits) and alternatewith nature walks and lots of science books from the library. We are not doing everyexperiment listed on the dvd, just the ones that I thought would be interesting to TJ (shemight have other ideas and want to add some of her own!).Ideas for Nature WalksTerm 1:Bagel Bird FeederSeasonal Tree ReportBird watchingCalendar–clear or cloudy? (no clouds, few clouds, very cloudy)Term 2:Seasonal Tree ReportRock collectionMeasure the rainfallCalendar–how warm is it? (short sleeve, long sleeve, jacket)“Your Backyard” pg. 6-7Working in the gardenTerm 3:Seasonal Tree ReportSeed huntSmall squareCalendar– weather (sun, clouds, rain)Leaf huntWorking in the gardenTerm 4:Collection for mobileSeasonal Tree ReportCalendar –wind directionLearn to use a compassFind where sun rises and setsMake a map of backyardTerm 5:Seasonal Tree ReportBird watchingCalendar –phases of the moonTerm 6:Seasonal Tree ReportBird watchingCalendar – temperatureThe following charts (for the science experiments) are just to make my planning easier – I’ve just put page and disc numbers along with the materials needed for theexperiment (according to the book – some of the items vary a bit on the dvd). I plan to
put each week’s materials on a tray and leave them in an accessible place, so theyare ready to go when TJ wants to do science.
