In this four week course, students will learn all about the spring season. They will explore growth and change in plants, pollination of flowers, insects, and spring weather through crafts and science experiments. Each lesson will begin with a vibrant slide show presentation where the students will be introduced to the concept of the week. They will be encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussions. Then, students will participate in the experiment and/or craft of the week. Extra optional science experiments will also be explained. Students may choose to try these after class if they wish. Here is the breakdown of the weeks! Week 1: Plants Students will learn about the parts of the plant and explore what parts of the plant we can eat. They will discuss how plants grow and be introduced to photosynthesis. Experiment: Chlorophyll prints Extra optional experiment: Bean plant growing Week 2: Flowers Students will look closely at the parts of a flower. They will discuss pollination. Students will understand how flowers drink water. Craft: Flower painting Extra optional experiment: Colorful carnations Week 3: Insects Students will learn about the characteristics, diet, and habitats of insects.
