Fill Your Baskets Freebie!



 

Happy Easter Friends,

I am teaming up with my friends at Freebielicious and joined in for the "fill your basket" fun! I am super excited to be able to share with you some science spring inspired freebie fun for your classroom. I was really inspired when I saw this picture on Pinterest from Play Create Explore. I loved it and it instantly made me want to create a pond in my water table to go along with our research writing on water and ponds.

 

 

How simple this is to put together for some pond fun? Naturally I thought this would be a good time and a good way to cover the objective-

The student is expected to observe and describe physical properties of natural sources of water, including color and clarity.

 

 

So I created this simple recording sheet to help us out with this investigation! It was fun to get out our magnifying glasses and get a good look at some water.

 

 

And since we were doing a little research on water and ponds we had to do a little labeling too!

 

 

You just know all the water and pond talk got us thinking about frogs so we just had to sneak a frog in there somewhere! And on my search for some more pond fun I came across some new books to add to my collection!

 

 

By far this one is my favorite pond book especially for young scientists! This book provides a lot of great pictures and information about pond life.

 

 

And who could even think about ponds without reading In the Small. Small Pond. I love this book and it is great for a discussion on descriptive words!
