Kindergarten Science and Math Activities
Date: April 2006
Do you have any fun ideas for a kindergarten
class science inquiry lesson with integrated math? Thank you for your time!!
You might count and measure trees on the school grounds or in a
nearby park, collect leaves from different kinds of trees and
measure them and show their different shapes, cut some sections from
a tree stump or branch and count the rings, find out how many
different kinds of birds or other animals the kids can find, track
weather - how many sunny, cloudy, rainy days etc.
These web sites may be helpful as well:
A couple book references that might be useful:
Sisson, Edith A. Nature with Children of all Ages. Mass. Audubon Society
Sheehan, Kathryn & Mary Waidner. Earth Child. Council Oak Books
Acorn Naturalists is a great source of science related material for
teachers, parents and kids.
