2 Science Lab Lesson Plan Investigate Properties of Freezing July 2014 Two s Preschool Kindergarten Objectives Freely explore materials at a developmentally Freely explore materials at a developmentally Prep Freely explore materials at a developmentally Materials Warm water Warm water Popsicle sticks Ice cube trays Food coloring Warm water Popsicle sticks Ice cube trays Food coloring Activities Freeze ocean animals in blue water and then add the frozen animals to the warm water. and explore Describe the different temperatures felt. Freeze ocean animals in blue water and then add the frozen animals to the warm water and explore. Connect with ice cube painting and how once no longer cold, the ice melts. Freeze ocean animals in blue water and then add the frozen animals to the warm water and explore. Connect with ice cube painting and how once no longer cold, the ice melts. Make home-made popsicles for a summer day treat. The children learned to: Exploring materials and activities that engage our sense of touch, smell, sound and sight Describing and discussing our observations with teachers Develop hypotheses and conclusions Question while exploring material Formulate why, what, and how questions Use what, why, when, where and how questions appropriately and sequentially Explore how properties can change Use adjectives to describe textures and temperatures

3 July 2014 Week of 6-30 Chalk Exploration Objectives Materials Strengthen and refine small muscle skills. bucket of Chalk paper (Darker Construction paper) cups water Can be done inside and outside. Art Lesson Plan Twos, Preschool, and Kindergarten Prep Week of 7-7 Make a class Mural Observe and describe features of artwork. big piece of butcher Paper crayons markers scissors glue Week of 7-14 Melting Bead Experiment with art materials. baking pans various sizes (for individual sun catcher use a muffin tin) beads oven foil (optional) Week of 7-21 Lots and Lots of Dots Use art materials purposefully and creatively. Need book Lots of Dots, Craig Fraizer book orange, green, yellow, red and blue paint bowls or plates for paint dot sponges Week of 7-28 Mosaic Tiles Recognize and produce patterns and designs. mosaic tiles light table (if available) Activities Learning outcomes Before going outside make sure to have water. The children can use the chalk to color and make pictures. The children can also explore the difference between wet and dry chalk while outside. Make purposeful marks and letters. The children can come up with a theme or it can go with your lesson plan topic. Explain to the children what a mural is. Making a mural asks children to share common experiences while respecting the space of others. Then the children use art materials to make pictures for the murals. Ask the children to put lots of details into their pictures. Each class can hang up their murals outside their rooms for parents to see. For younger classes you can do a handprint mural. Engaging in meaningful conversation about Murals If using foil line the pans with foil before children make a design. Have the children make a design with the beads in the pans. Once children have made the design with the beads in the pans. Heat oven to 400 and bake for 20 minutes. Science Rocks: Explore how properties can change. The teacher reads the book Lots of Dots before activity. Then the children can create their own artwork using the dot sponges. Teachers can make a book out of children s artwork. Develop listening and auditory memory. The children can move the various colors of ice on the papers and notice if they see anything happening. See if any of the children s colors blended together on their paper to make new colors. If outside have the children explore various places of the playground. Math Counts: Create simple patterns and designs.

4 July 2014 Week of 7/7 Hokey Pokey in Mandarin Chinese Objectives Use the popular song The Hokey Pokey to teach vocabulary for parts of the body in Mandarin Chinese. Music Lesson Plan Twos, Preschool, and Kindergarten Prep Week of 7/14 Re- Name that Tune Children will select a familiar tune and create a new set of lyrics, write a skit or a play, make a storybook that illustrates the verses of the song, or write and perform a puppet show.
