Ant Farms, Flower Gardens, and Tornado Simulators, Oh My!

Help me give my students an ant farm to practice doing observations and taking data, flower gardens to practice growing things and strengthening fine motor skills, and tornado simulators to help engage our students during natural disaster week.

My Project

We are coming up on the end of the year, and Spring is here. We really hit bugs and insects, growing things such as flower gardens, watching animals and insects grow like butterflies and ants, learning about natural disasters such as tornados and flooding to practice safety drills with our kids.

Our preschool students would love an ant farm to practice doing observations and taking data as the ants make their homes in the gel, flower gardens to practice growing things and strengthening fine motor skills as they work together to make different types of flowers and gardens, and a tornado simulator and tornado tube to help engage our students during natural disaster week in a fun way that teaches them about safety as well.
