January 10-15, 2012
Attention Parents and Preschool & Kindergarten Teachers!
Mark your calendars for Little Scientists Week! This special “Sid the Science Kid” themed week is dedicated to our littlest scientists, kindergarten age and younger! Watch your students come to life as they journal their way into discovering the scientist inside with special hands-on inquiry-based activities. PBS’s own ‘Sid the Science Kid’ will be making a personal appearance on Friday, January 13 – Sunday, January 15th.
Activities throughout the week include:
Make & Decorate a Sid the Science Kid Journal
Sid and his friends use journals to keep their findings as they discover and explore. Kids start their Little Scientists Week adventure by creating their own journal to record what they learn.
Working Smart
Kids will learn all about how simple machines make work easier. They’ll experiment with a lever and water filled milk jugs.
Making Healthy Choices
Using real foods, kids will sort a variety of food items into meat, grain, fruits, vegetable, dairy and ‘sometimes’ food categories. In their journals, they’ll create their own lunch.
Sort It Out
Kids will sort recyclables from trash and then sort recyclables into the appropriate categories- paper, plastic, glass, etc.
Magnification Station
Give kids a magnifying glass and you’ll capture their attention! At this station, kids will be able to investigate dirt, roots and plants with magnifying glasses.
