If your experiences with teaching themes or unit topics has mostly been about handing out worksheets and identical crafts, try the 8 tips below to give children opportunities to inquire, investigate, and practice math and science skills. They will not only learn new skills but they will also gain a greater understanding of the unit topic.

Teaching with specific topics, can capture young children's attention, and lead to observations and inquiries.

Watch your students' interest levels rise as they touch and explore objects related to the topic, have opportunities to wonder about and ask questions about the topic and play with objects in ways that lead to comparisons, categorizing and creating collections.

1. Choose the smaller part of a larger topic

This is important when teaching young children. Choose to teach about a tide pool, rather than the ocean, a wildlife tree rather than the forest, crayfish rather than rivers, your local community rather than a different country. This allows the content of the research unit to be accessible, something to visit, touch, experience, rather than an abstract concept.

2. Choose to research topics from your local environment

Students can learn many concepts from your local school, parks and communities. Bring the children to actual places or to bring the real objects, things and animals into your classroom for the students to investigate.

I live on the west coast of Canada, have access to beaches and can bring a collection of limpets, mussels, chitin, crab and other shells (not alive!) into the classroom.

Wildlife trees are in the schoolyard. Field trips that are close by do not require a lot of driving or expense. If you are in a big city, investigate insects, leaves, puddles, parks.

3. Play is learning

Play is the work of children and it is through play that children make sense of the world around them.

The National Science Teachers Association defines scientific inquiry as "the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence derived from their work. Scientific inquiry also refers to the activities through which students develop knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, as well as an understanding of how scientists study the natural world."

This is the way young children naturally learn. They play, they try things, and they see what happens. Then they build their own understanding and assumptions about how the world works from their experiences, then they repeat the cycle.

Let children use the objects on the science observation table in other ways besides studying them with magnifying glasses. Build vocabulary as the children play, "The shells you're using for plates are called bivalves." or "The rocks in that cup are shiny but the ones in that cup are dull." or "You put quartz rocks in the red container."

4. Allow time for skill practice

Plan for opportunities for literacy activities, science experiments, thinking skills and processes such as observing, classifying, measuring, recording and for learning scientific and math vocabulary. For example, if your topic is local schoolyard birds, collect or ask parents to collect feathers and bring them to class.

Compare lengths, widths, colors, patterns, then graph and count how many of each. Have the kids touch them and record their description words and share new vocabulary with them. Have children record their experiences, using drawings and emergent spelling. For an easy introduction into this process, check out my ebook, "Challenging Children to Investigate with Everyday Things"

5. Read non-fiction and fiction to the children about the topic

Spark student interest in the settings of fictional stories or non-fiction books. Eric Carle's, "A House for a Hermit Crab", presents content on the characteristics of the hermit crab and also introduces other sea creatures as the story progresses.

Follow up with an open-ended literature-based activities that allow the children room to share what they have learned during the topic study or theme. In this case, each child could create a page for a class book showing other animals that the hermit crab could have met on his journey.

6. Integrate other subject areas within the topic of research

Use art, music, and drama to introduce new information. The activities capture the children's attention and reinforce new vocabulary. One year, while immersed in a pond study, I read the Princess and the Frog story to my students. One student drew and cut out the frog and taped a stick on the back. Soon more children were involved in puppetry, making theatres, and introducing other pond creatures into their plays and the enthusiasm from those children inspired the rest of the class.

I provided simple materials, such as gold paper to make crowns, scraps of lace and material, yarn for hair, popsicle sticks, lightweight card, small boxes for theatres, and recording booklets for their new stories. So much fun and so much learning going on without me directing the show!

7. Plan opportunities for students to communicate their knowledge

Plan for two to five children a day to talk about their pictures, models, or other accomplishments and to talk about what they have learned. Train the other children not to interrupt and have a short time for questions after each child's turn. Don't make this session too long and do some jumping jacks in between sharing if necessary!

8. Use projects to reflect the children's new knowledge

Having the students create something to demonstrate their new knowledge helps you to quickly see what they have learned.

After investigating living tide pool animals, as well as dried shells in the classroom, the students made their own small tide pools. The students' mini-tide pools and tide pool critters were made from sturdy paper plates, paint and modeling clay.

Ask them to create their favorite animals. Provide magnifying glasses for further observation and the samples of dried starfish, barnacles, limpets and other shells for the students to copy.

Children printed labels for some of the creatures, copying from the signs on the science center shelf. Other children printed what was significant to them about tide pools or I recorded their descriptions to place beside their tide pool displays.

Show Answer

How can I have fun on a rainy day?

There are lots of ways to have fun when it's raining outside. You could create some art or bake something with a parent. Or escape to a new world with a good book. You could build your own cozy reading fort, turn out the lights, and read with a flashlight. Or you could try balloon tennis. Attach a paper plate to a paint stick or ruler to make your tennis racket. Blow up a balloon and let the games begin!

Teach your kids all about science without turning your kitchen into a mad scientist's messy lab. Try some fun science experiments for kids that you can do at home. These science experiments combine fun with learning activities so put on your lab coat and get ready to teach your children about everything from metamorphosis to molecules.

Plant a Garden
One of the easiest science experiments for kids is to plant a garden with them.

Taking care of her garden and watching it grow is a science project that will last longer than most.

Easy-to-grow herbs and unusual vegetables can be used to teach kids the science behind gardening, good nutrition skills and patience while they wait for their garden to grow. Plan your garden carefully and you and your children can plant a garden that feeds your family.

Create a Home Weather Station
Gauge the weather and make predictions. A home weather station can be as simple or elaborate as you and your children want to build it.

Your most basic weather station can have a rain gauge, wind sock and a compass so your kids can record the weather in their weather journal. Or go big with a weather station that has it all, from a hygrometer to an anemometer.

Build an Ant Farm
Watch those busy ants dig tunnels and interact. You can buy an ant farm or it's easy enough to build your own ant farm out of a few household items.

Feed the ants. Observe them. Release them back into the wild after a few days and start all over again.

Learn About Ice
Watching ice melt alone is boring. Watching ice melt with your kids is a science experiment.

There's more to just standing around to watch ice melt, though. A melting ice experiment gives you the opportunity to teach kids about molecules and why ice floats.

After kids learn the basics, they can rescue an ice cube and melt ice with salt.

Find a fuzzy caterpillar and you've just found your kids' next science experiment. Make your own caterpillar house out of household items.

Feed the caterpillar, watch it and, before your children know it, they'll be releasing a butterfly into the wild that they helped house.

The best part about this experiment is that you can try it any time of the year. The caterpillars can be contained throughout the winter and be released in spring.

Build a Submarine
A soda bottle and some household items are all you need to build a submarine. Once it's built, kids can push the submarine under water in the bathtub and watch it spring to the top.

Let it go and it floats. Now put a small rock in the tub and watch what happens. Learning about the density teaches kids why the larger bottle floats but the smaller rock sinks.

Create a Rocket Balloon
Grab a balloon, string, straw and tape to create a rocket balloon. The string acts like a track and the straw as the carrier when the air from the balloon propels it from one end to the other.

This experiment introduces kids to Newton's Third Law of Motion, "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction."

Hunt Bugs
Turn your kids into budding entomologists. Hunt bugs together.

Make a pitfall trap to capture some of those ground-dwelling insects. Kids can study each one and learn about its scientific classification, life cycle and diet.

Make a Solar System
Get kids interested in space when you teach them about the planets. Making a solar system together gives you quality one-on-one time with them as they learn more about space.

After the solar system model is complete, use your kids' newfound interest in space to teach them about the planets and stars. You can even throw in some history lessons about the men, women and animals who've launched into the Great Beyond.

Erupt a Volcano
Make your own volcano from a soda bottle wrapped in clay or dough. Teach kids about chemical reactions with this non-toxic volcano that uses warm water, baking soda and liquid dishwashing detergent to create flowing lava.

Your volcano is reusable too. Just re-fill the soda bottle and watch that volcano erupt over and over again.

Grow Sugar Crystals
How about a science experiment that's sweet? Grow sugar crystals to make your own rock candy.

The only ingredients you need are sugar and water. Kids won't have to wait long to see the results of this experiment. Your crystals will begin forming in a day or two.

Make Slime
Learn about chemical bonds when you and your kids make gooey slime together. Combine non-toxic glue and borax and the slime instantly forms.

Add food coloring if you want to tint your slime and store it in a bag so your kids can re-use it. Once you get the basics of slime down, you can try your hand at more advanced slime recipes. Find the right recipe and your slime can glow in the dark, be used in the bathtub and can even be eaten!
