Essential Question: : Children will have the opportunity to explore and study the environment around them. We will explore and examine different types of science experiments and practice describing what we think will happen.
Weekly Topics Include: What to Investigate Lookly Closely Express and Test Ideas Make and Share Conclusions
Talk often to your child about their school day. Ask questions about what story we read or what center your child played in.
Use tools such as Magnifying Glasses, Binoculars, and Telescopes (children are familiar with these tools from our last unit) to "look closely" at objects. Ask your child to describe what they see/details.
Sink or Float. Invite your child to investigate what happens when they place objects in water. Have them collect several objects, discuss what might happen when they place each one in water and test their ideas by placing the objects in water one at a time then discussing what happens.
Add water to objects. Find objects such as sand, chalk, or dough and ask your child to discuss or predict what will happen when you add water. Test out their ideas!

Classroom Music and Movement
