In this preschool science lesson, children will engage in hands-on experiments that introduce them to basic concepts related to Earth and Space. The session begins with a circle discussion to spark curiosity and activate prior knowledge about plants and the night sky. Students will participate in planting seeds in clear cups, learning about what plants need to grow, while also making predictions about their seed growth. Following this, they will create starry night artwork using dark construction paper and glitter, simulating stars while discussing celestial bodies and their twinkling appearance.
Throughout the lesson, children will observe, share experiences, and reflect on their activities, enhancing their scientific curiosity and observation skills. The lesson concludes with a collaborative review of what they learned, reinforcing the concepts introduced, and culminating in a fun song or rhyme related to Earth and Space. This interactive approach aims to foster a sense of wonder and an eagerness to explore the natural world.
