I can identify the 5 senses and their uses by exploring with sound jar(hear), mystery box(feel), magnifying glass(see), smelly guess container(smell), and M&M’s for a tasty treat(taste).

I can use playdough to create a face on a plate with all the 5 senses.

Kindergarten

I can learn how  magnets can push and pull objects by exploring with mazes and cars with magnets.

I can color my magnet sheet and orally tell my partner what objects my magnet pulled and pushed

First Grade- 

”Reflection and Review Day”

I can demonstrate what happens when vibrations are made by experimenting with different activities using a tuning fork.

Activities:

 1. Hitting a tuning fork on table and bringing it to your ear. What did you hear?

2. Hitting a tuning fork on table and placing it next to a cup filled with toothpicks. What did you observe?

3. Hitting a tuning fork on table then placing it next to a ping pong ball hanging from a string.  What did you observe?

4. Hitting a tuning fork on table and then placing in a cup of water on top of colored paper.  What happened to the water?

I can draw a picture of the vibration activities and orally explain how the vibration of the tuning fork made sound.

Sentence Stem: 

 Sound was made when_______________________.

Vocab:  Sound, hear, vibration, tuning fork
