My students need two Junior Hollow Block Sets and a variety of text that gives real life examples of how pushes and pulls can help us move and create force to increase or decrease our motion.
I have the pleasure of learning alongside 18 enthusiastic, energetic, caring and curious Kindergarten children who care about each other and the world. We connect using Twitter and Kidblog. We engage with these platforms so we can have conversations and learn from others globally.
Our school is a fun and safe place to learn.
Kindergarten is a wonderful place to learn because we ask questions, make friends and explore what we are curious about. Learning is lots of fun in Kindergarten.
My Project
These materials will help my students experiment with pulling and pushing objects in our classroom to experience how force can impact movement. The books will help my students read about real life experiences that will help them understand the NGSS standards of pushes and pulls. Young children need to experiment with new scientific concepts to make sense of them. Also reading about real life examples of how a concept is used helps to demonstrate the importance of understanding what it is and how it can help us. Young children learn from a real life story because they can connect with the experience. The blocks will offer opportunities for my students to design ramps that will pull objects and experience what can happen when objects go down a ramp.
