From Little To Big
Foundation Blocks - Science 4a, b, 6c

Using visual cues, supplemented with oral and written cues, the students will identify and review the life needs of living things. They will sing a song that reinforces these life needs. The students will recognize, sort and match pictures of young living things and their grown-up versions.

Spud Senses
Foundation Blocks: Science 1a -
Mathematics 4a, 6a

Using a life size, cuddly spud, students will have a great time using their senses! As a face is created out of our friendly “ potato,” observations will allow students to classify shapes, develop picture graphs, and identify different smells. Simple tools, such as a magnifying glass, help enhance the sensory experience.

It Matters
Foundation Blocks - Science 1a, b, d, 3d, e, f
• Math - 1b, c, d, 3b, c

The students will explore the properties of matter that make solids, liquids and gasses. They will learn the terms solid, liquid, and gas, and identify objects as such. The students will witness how ice turns into water and then steam, and what happens when a solid & liquid mix.

Magnets
Foundation Blocks - Science 2a, b

Students will learn the effects that magnets have on objects. Through various activities, students will discover that magnets are "attracted to” some objects and "not attracted to" other objects. Students will also learn that magnets have poles, and the effects that magnets have on other magnets when the poles are involved.

Patterns in Nature
Foundation Blocks - Science 1a, c, 3c, 6b

Students will discover through natural objects and photographs that nature has various patterns. They will identify basic properties of natural objects by direct observation. They will also observe textures and feel of natural objects. Finally, students will observe and classify the shapes and forms of common natural objects.

Go Green!
Foundation Blocks - Science 7a, b • Math - 6a

Recycling will be fun and easy as students recognize the difference between trash and recyclable materials. They will identify and sort recyclable items and recognize items that have been reused to make new, fun things. They will reuse paper to make a poster to take back to their classrooms.

Shape Up
Foundation Blocks - Math 1a, 4a, b, c

Students will learn that they see basic shapes in their everyday lives. Through various activities, the students will learn to recognize basic shapes and describe how the shapes are similar & different. Students will also match and sort basic shapes. Finally, students will be able to compare two groups of shapes and describe the groups using the terms "more," "fewer," and "same."

Measure Me
Foundation Blocks: Mathematics 3a, b, c

Students will learn about different types of measurement. They will identify a clock, balance scale, ruler, measuring cup, and thermometer and discuss what each item measures. The students will match a measurement to the item used, and will experience how the measuring cup, balance scale and thermometer work through
hands-on group investigation.

Transportation
Foundation Blocks: History & Social Science - 2b, c, d, e, g
Mathematics Foundation Block - 6a

Students will sort and classify pictures of motor vehicles, flying machines and boats into the present and past categories. They will make a simple time line using pictures to see how airplanes have changed over time. They will look at pictures of cars and flying machines of the future, and as a group, design a space ship of the future.

Star Pictures
Foundation Blocks : Mathematics 4a, b, c, d

Students will learn what a constellation is. They will see familiar constellations and will identify common and familiar shapes within them. They will explain what the overall picture looks like. Several volunteers will come up to place stars on a board to form a new constellation. The class will decide what shape or picture the new
constellation makes.

Weather Around Us
Foundation Blocks - Science 6a

Students will learn through various activities that what we wear depends on the weather. Students will choose appropriate clothing based on daily weather. They will also learn weather patterns of various seasons, and temperatures associated with those seasons.


Scheduling Tip! Goes well with the IMAX film Stormchasers.

That's How It Grows
Foundation Blocks - Science 1b, 6c

Students will be able to recognize the stages of plant growth from seed to flower using pictures and words. They will also learn the necessary elements needed to sustain a plant's life such as sun, water, and soil. Students will learn the four basic parts of a flowering plant.
