https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn This curation is about the physical attributes of Earth's materials. (soil, rocks, water and air) It is based on the standard for Kindergarten -SKE2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe the physical attributes of earth materials (soil, rocks, water, and air). This curation contains 10 resources to use during a lesson about the standard mentioned. Included in this resource are videos, charts, games, and activities that can all be used for the lesson. These resources will be helpful not only as a teaching tool but also in keeping the students engaged and excited to learn. These resources are differentiated for all types of learners. en-us 2020-06-01 21:55:29 UTC 2024-12-07 22:48:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30e.png kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605753018 This video gives a visual description of Earth's materials. It is a short cartoon about the natural resources on Earth. It discusses how we use air, water, soil, and rocks everyday. This would be a great introduction to the content to get the students excited to learn. ]]> 2020-06-01 22:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605753018 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605755935 This image will give a visual representation of what the materials look like and where they are. The teacher can use this to explain the different materials and where they are on Earth. The teacher could also make this a hands on activity by having the students create their own model like this of Earth's materials.]]> 2020-06-01 22:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605755935 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605759143 The teacher can have the students make these binoculars and they could go on a nature walk where they spot the different physical attributes of Earth's materials. The teacher could make it a game as well. ]]> 2020-06-01 22:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605759143 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605762308 For this activity the teacher can use this rock kit to have the students become Geologists for the day. They can explore the different types of rocks that Earth has and they can learn to group them based on size, weight, texture, and color. This kit is made for students to learn the exact rock names but for this grade level I would just use the rocks because they are varied and they students can organize them better. The teacher does not even need to get a kit to do this though they could just have the students find rocks outside and sort them.]]> 2020-06-01 22:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605762308 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605790877 Here the students can get on their Chromebooks or IPad and explore this interactive website about soil. It has songs and games for the students. The teacher can also go on here to get experiments for their classroom. This will help the students understand why we have soil, what it is and what it does. This would be good to use during rotations to give the students some individual time to learn but still be monitored and guided. ]]> 2020-06-01 22:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605790877 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605870566 The teacher can work with the students to create a chart on what soil is. They can discuss it and then work together to create the image of it below the chart. Each student could add a piece of the soil. This will be great for visual and hands on learners. This will help the students understand what soil is made of.]]> 2020-06-02 00:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605870566 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605879593 This is an explanation on how to play the game rock, soil, or water. This is an interactive game that gets the students moving while assessing what they know. The teacher calls out a certain material and then the students will do a certain movement like, jumping or spinning, based on what they thing the teacher is describing.  ]]> 2020-06-02 00:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605879593 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605882520 This video gives a visual understanding of what air is and how we use it. This will be good for students who are visual learners or to just give a quick overview of air. This could be used as an introduction to the lesson or as a review. ]]> 2020-06-02 00:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605882520 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605888813 The teacher can work with the students to make a chart on rocks. They can include the descriptions of rocks such as their size, weight, and texture. This would be a good introduction to rocks or a good conclusion after completing the geology day mentioned on one of the other resources.]]> 2020-06-02 00:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605888813 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605902692 The teacher can create this chart with the students by asking them when they use water. The teacher can then add on things the students do not think of until they have a list of uses of water. ]]> 2020-06-02 00:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605902692 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605906106 This is a cut and paste for the students to match the picture of the material to the name of the material. So a picture of water would be on the page and they would cut out the word water and paste is next to the picture.  This could be a good way for hand-son students to learn and it would also give the teacher a chance to see what the students know.]]> 2020-06-02 00:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605906106 kb09258 https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605908595 The teacher can have the students fill out this observation sheet while they observe soil. The teacher could bring in soil or they could go outside and see it. This could be a fun way to get the students out of the classroom and learn about soil. The students would right down what they notice about it and then have a class discussion afterwards.]]> 2020-06-02 00:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kb09258/6ykj4nsaw2pzjwyn/wish/605908595
