Earth Science - water, characteristics, temperature changes, habitat

Biological Science- characteristics of plants and animals, including humans and living things, where animals live, what they eat & what they need to survive. 

Chemical Science- Composition and behaviours of substances, mixture of food colouring + water freezes into blue ice, floating and sinking - do the animals float? Yes.

- Researching animals in habitats - which animals live at the North Pole and South Pole
- Looking at story and fictional books

Educators set up environment with open-ended materials for children to explore, question, problem-solve, collaborate, investigate, hypothesise & discuss.  Educators noticed children’s experimentation with ice & classification of  ‘cold water creatures’ & plan to create similar experience with different containers of ice & same creatures to provide opportunity for further investigation – prepared to be led by child-led inquiry, whether it be about melting & freezing, or about animals & habitats.   ]]> 2022-03-20 04:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103390701 schkj0151 https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103390857 - I measure and compare my world - choose & use the appropriate tool & strategy for the attribute (experimenting with removing 3D ice from containers)
- I analyse, read and organise the data in my world.
- I explore and understand my place and space in the world - use properties of shape to make things fit, balance and transform, use the position location, arrangement & movement of myself, others & objects for a purpose (experimenting with removing 3D ice from containers)

4.2 Develop problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, investigation.

Outcome 2: Children are connected with & contribute to their world - children explore their environment, develop awareness about natural habitats of animals, use various methods to melt ice in a real world setting.

Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators - children shared their ideas, asked questions, confidently hypothesized what would happen. ]]> 2022-03-20 04:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103391039 schkj0151 https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103391200 Measurement -  how much water needed to make ice or melt ice, expanding water volume, noticing & comparing temperature, measuring contents of containers, comparing & describing the size of objects & size of ice as it melts. 

Pattern - repetition of action required to remove ice from containers/melt ice with water. 

Number - counting objects, counting how many times we need to push. How many different animals (penguins, polar bears etc.)?

Spatial vocabulary - describing position of objects on the tray "The walrus sits on the ice"

Temperature - at what temperature does water freeze?

Time - How long does it take for the water to freeze? How long does it take for the ice to melt?

- Noticing (children saying it is cracked)
- Communication (sharing with others)
- Noticing change with ice
- Observing cause and effect (child says 'it is melting')
- Investigating what happens if I do this (push on container, put water on it)
- Knowledge of cold water creatures (seals, penguins, polar bears) and their habitat. Why can these creatures live in the cold areas whilst others can't?
- Problem-solving (trying different methods to remove ice from containers)
- Investigating (exploring different kinds of animals, different materials in tray)
- Experimenting with ice & water (watching ice expand, cause & effect)
- Hypothesizing ("I think it will melt")
- Questioning (What makes ice melt? What happens when I pour water? What makes the ice crack?)
- Researching (when educators introduce texts to support learning)
- Which of these creatures live in the Arctic and which live in the Antarctic regions, and how cold do these places get?
- Look at a globe of the world to find the Arctic and Antarctic Circles]]> 2022-03-20 04:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103392962 steml004 https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103496748 2022-03-20 08:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2103496748 lizsanch1982 https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2112819889 Noticing- Some of the water was frozen, the animals in the tray are cold water creatures
Wondering - What happens if we pour water on the ice? I wonder how long it will take for the ice to melt?
Communication-I think.. this will happen
Comparing - Can you see this ice is stuck in the pot but this is ice is now turning blue
Sorting- why can't other animals live in this habitat? How many animals are birds and how many are mammals? ]]> 2022-03-25 00:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/schkj0151/l0g079m5ebz81egz/wish/2112819889
