Name of the Project: Colors in nature

Project Objectives : On completion of the project student will be strong on the following
areas

 They will explore the colors in the world around us and the colors of the rainbow.
 They will explore how rainbows are formed through experiments, inquiry and
discussion
 We will also investigate what colors we see each day, as well as where colors are seen.
 How colors can shape each of us and can represent many different things such as our
health, our feelings and attitude.
 Student will also experiment with colour and various forms of art materials to discover
how colors are created.

Integration of Other Functional/Academic Skills:

In this project students will be learning colors with the integration of

following academics skills as a part of exploring other functional areas in order to
explore new and creative things under the topic of colors in nature.

English language arts

Mathematics

Arts Education

Science.

Time frame of the project :

The time allotted to teach all lesson integration will take around 15- 18 days. And
in particular the time frame will be 35 to 40 mins per day it adjusted depends on
the weightage of the lesson and also depending upon the understanding level of
the student on each activities and outcome performed by the students.

Materials used for the Project

I will set up a colour exploration centre containing items for students to use in
play and inquire about colour.
Following are some of the materials which will be in the centre:

 Baskets for materials to be held in

 Various coloured:
Beads
Pom-poms
Beans
Stones
Counters
Felt pieces
Fake grapes
Twigs

 Coloured paper
 Crayons, markers
 Books with colourful images
 Colour word cards
 Flashlight
 Prisms/old CD’s.

Phase of the project :

There are four different phase of the project.
Introduction:
The teacher will be giving a brief explantion about colors. And they will be
taught of what is primary and secondary colors and how colors are playing major
role in the day to day activity.

Integration of the Subject:

Students will be taught the detailed explanation regarding the integrated
subjects of English language arts Mathematics, Arts Education, Science.
Activity and Demonstration :

All Students will be provided the activity sheets based on the each lesson
category to ensure the knowledge ability and understanding of the subject.

Assessment:
Students will be assessed after every lesson. Each lesson will end with
either an oral or written assessment.
Main Content
Colors are in every part of our world. The theme of Colors provides many
avenues to explore the mixing and creation of Colors, as well as to practice
classifying and sorting skills. Colors are also a vital part of the social interactions
we have, and are an indicator of our uniqueness to be celebrated. Describe their
world—human expression—health and well-being can be determined through
colour as well. This unit will help students to concentrate on their own individual
skills, observations, discoveries and preferences and will help students to
embrace their unique self as well as the diversity among the class.

English Language Arts:

Throughout this unit we are going to focus on communication, reading and
writing skills. The students are emergent readers and writers, so we are going to
work on colour-specific sight words using word cards, poems, songs and books.
We will also practice our critical listening skills through listening to stories,
instructions, each other, videos and music. We are also exploring communication
through symbols and images through our artworks to be created during this unit.

Mathematics: In this unit the focus in mathematics will be on patterns, numeracy

and number sense, and comparisons. The students will also experience data
collection and analysis through the creation of a ribbon chart. The ribbon chart
will be referred to throughout the unit and used for assessment of understanding,
as well as to create conversation about mathematics within the classroom. The
students will also be given the chance to explore the concept of addition with
“color” math; the addition of two colors to equal a new colour.
Science:
Exploration and experimentation are key focal points in this unit. This unit is
highly inquiry focused, and students will learn to observe their surroundings and
explore what they find. We will also explore and discover the science behind how
a rainbow is formed in a rainstorm, and experiment to see if we can make our
own rainbows. This unit focuses on the discovery and investigation of the science
curriculum.

Arts Education: The big question of this unit is “What are the Colors of our
world?”, and this is the basis of the approach to arts in the classroom. We will
spend time exploring and experimenting with colour and how colour can be used
aesthetically. Students will be given a full half-day to explore questions such as
“How do I make the colour pink?” or “Can you make white?” which were raised
earlier by the students. We will also go through some visualization-type
experiences, where students are asked to think about their body parts—
starting at their feet and working up—and think about what colour each feels like.
This is a more abstract concept than the students are used to, so I will work
towards and understanding of how Colors can represent feelings and then how to
use colour to express those feelings.
