Kindergarten Science Vocabulary Lesson 1 1. Scientists use special words to talk about the world around us. One of these words is observe.
Access prior knowledge- What do you think observe means? Show picture and read student-friendly definition:
Observe means to look carefully at something or someone Jim observed the spider spinning a web
Ask students to repeat the word observe. Insure that all students have had a chance to say the word.
In pairs, ask students to talk about the meaning of the word observe- share responses with the group
2. Context Activities- to reinforce comprehension:
Show activity picture cards. Ask students to tell what they observe. Have them use the word by stating” I observe….”
Play “I observe”- a variation of “I spy” using the environment of the classroom- eg. “I observe something that is round and flat and has legs” (a table).

Lesson 4 1. Review previous words- observe, identify, compare Another important science word is sort

responses with the group.
2. Context Activity- to reinforce comprehension: "What am I Thinking?" Materials:
Two pieces of 8.5" by 11" card with circles Deck of jumbo cards Animal card set
How to Play: Put one piece of card beside the other with a space between them. Pick up a red card from the deck. Say, "This card can go on this paper."
Choose a black card and say, "This card can't go on the paper " and put it on the other paper.
Sort a few more cards, verbalizing, "this card can.. this card can't...", then ask, "What am I thinking?"
Children try and guess the sorting rule. In this case I am sorting by color, When the children get the idea, choose more difficult sorting rules.- by suit
or number Have students sort animal flashcards- eg. Animals with fur/animals with
feathers, animals that live on land/animals that live on the water

Lesson 5 1. Review previous words- observe, identify, compare, sort
Explain that everything in the world can be sorted into two groups: Living and Non-living
Access prior knowledge- What do you think living means? What do you think non-living means?
Show picture and read student-friendly definition:
Living things can:
breathe eat drink
move and grow
Non-Living things cannot:
breathe eat drink
move or grow
Ask students to repeat the words living and non-living. Insure that all students have had a chance to say the words.
In pairs, ask students to talk about the meaning of the words living and non-living - share responses with the group.

2. Context Activities- to reinforce comprehension: Which is it?
Give each child two cards- one labelled Non-Living and one labelled Living Show the group pictures of living or non-living things and have each child
hold up the label that applies. Ask students to explain their choice- eg. “I picked Living because a dog
can move.” Magic Wand
Taking turns with the ‘magic wand”, each child touches an object or person in the room. The other students must decide if it is living or non-living

Lesson 6 1. Review previous terms- observe, identify, compare, sort, living, nonliving Another important science word is investigate
Access prior knowledge- What do you think investigate means? Show picture and read student-friendly definition:
Investigate means to go and see what happened
I heard a noise in the back yard, so I went to investigate.
Ask students to repeat the word investigate. Insure that all students have had a chance to say the word.
In pairs, ask students to talk about the meaning of the word investigate- share responses with the group.
2. Context Activities- to reinforce comprehension: Picture Prompt
The purpose of this activity is to develop the meaning of the term investigate- the act of investigating follows a question or point of inquiry that has been raised
Show students the picture prompt and ask if they have questions. As you elicit responses, ask students what they would need to do to
investigate the situation and find the answers to their questions.

Detective Game
This detective game develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills in children and can be used to reinforce the concept of investigation.
Students arrange themselves into a circle in the classroom and one student is chosen to be the detective and wait outside of the class.
The teacher chooses one of the remaining students in the circle to be the leader. The leader is responsible for starting gestures in which the rest of the students must copy. Gestures can include stomping, snapping, clapping, touching index finger to head, and so on. Model this step with the whole group before you begin the game. Practice changing gestures every 10-15 seconds and have the group follow your lead.
The leader changes the gesture every 10 seconds and the other students must watch and change gestures when the leader does without speaking or doing anything to identify the leader.
Once the leader starts the first gesture, the detective comes back into the classroom and must investigate to find the leader of the circle. The detective is given only three guesses to identify the leader.
When the leader has been found or the detective has run out of guesses, the teacher selects a new detective until all the groups members have had a turn..
