Apple Investigation

In September, the prekindergarten scientists engaged in activities to predict, explore, observe, test, and examine apples through various experiments and investigations. They compared the weights of different apples using scales and completed anchor charts to label the parts of an apple and illustrate its life cycle. The children enjoyed reading books and singing songs about apples, and they played an apple-matching game.

To conclude their unit on the senses, the prekindergarten girls conducted a hands-on exploration of apples. The children used magnifying glasses to inspect apple slices, smelled the apples, and listened carefully as they bit into them. They particularly enjoyed tasting the apples! During this exploration, the children took scientific notes on their observations. The prekindergarten students learned that scientific observation involves using their senses purposefully. Great job, everyone!

We are Scientists

Welcome to science! This month, the prekindergarten girls gained an understanding of the many jobs that scientists have. Additionally, the girls have been learning about their five senses. We discussed how our sense of smell can keep us safe. Additionally, after listening to The Looking Book by P.K. Hallinan, the girls put on their "lookers" and explored the science room using their sense of sight. After researching and observing, the girls then illustrated their favorite find.
