FLP Lessons |
Activity that Addresses this Benchmark
|
| K.3.1 - Sort objects according to a given attribute;
i.e., use, size, color, and shape |
Seed Surprises |
By sorting and planting seeds, students discover
seeds come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, as well as
produce plants. |
| Fruits and Vegetables |
Students identify and compare fruits and other
edible plant parts through a fast-paced game. The students compare
and contrast similarities and differences between fruits and other
edible plant parts. |
| We're Into Pumpkins |
Student count the seeds contained within a pumpkin
(often hundreds) during an investigation of pumpkins. Seeds could
then be sorted based on size. |
| School Ground Caretakers |
Students observe and collect items on the school
ground, choose their own special place, and work with school groundskeepers
to be respectful caretakers of their outdoor environment. The students
group the found objects according to various categories. |
| K.3.2 - Read and interpret picture graphs as sources
of information |
We're Into Pumpkins |
Students put collected data about pumpkins into
a graph. |
| Let's Celebrate! |
Students list and tally the total times that each
celebration was selected during interviews. Students make a simple
bar or picture graph to show favorite celebrations. |
| Germ Busters |
Students use the information that was recorded
and put into graphs about the growth of microbes on three different
potatoes. The students use the graphs to determine which potatoes
grew the least microbes; the one handled by unwashed hands, the
one handled by washed hands, or the not handled potato. |
| Tomatoes to Ketchup Chickens to Omelettes |
Students sort types of processed foods into groups
based on the raw food source. They create Venn diagrams for processed
foods made from more than one raw food. |
