Programs:

MEASUREMENT:
K.1 Students will have fun sequencing objects, describing their physical attributes, using nonstandard units of measurement and graphing.

FORCE, MOTION, and ENERGY:
K.2 Exciting centers that will have students investigating pushes and pulls and the effect on objects. Strength, speed and change of direction will be explored. We will explore magnets.

MATTER:
K.3 The children will investigate the position, motion and physical properties of different objects. They will explore colors, shapes and other features of solids, liquids and gasses.

WATER:
K.4 Water is explored in each of the three states of matter. The children will play with the natural flow of water and use the scientific process in their investigations.

FIVE SENSES:
K.5 Kindergartners will explore their five senses, identify the corresponding organ and will do fun activities using sensory descriptors.

LIFE PROCESSES:
K.6 and K.7 Students will see that things can be listed as living or nonliving. Basic needs of plants and animals are discovered through activities as the children see how living things change, go through life cycles and see how some babies are either similar or different from their parents.

SUN and SHADOWS:
K.8 Hands-on excitement as students discover that shadows can be found in nature, how shadows occur and how shadows can also be produced by blocking artificial sources.

WEATHER and SEASON PATTERNS:
K.9 The students will investigate the repeating patterns in their daily life such as weather, shapes and forms of common objects and growth in living things.

TIME CHANGES:
K.10 Students will explore how change occurs over time. Sometimes this can be at different rates of speed. The group will explore how common natural objects such as seed, cones, leaves, plants and animals as well as human made objects can change over time.

RESOURCES:
K.11 The children will investigate how materials can be reused, recycled and conserved. We will talk about sun, soil, trees, water and air as natural resources. We will reuse objects as well as dig for gems to show natural resources.
