Lesson/Activity Name: Animal prints in the Snow.
Overall Purpose:
To become aware of the texture of snow and the different temperatures. This is also a great way to work on fine motor skills.
Theme: Nature
LESSON
Learning Standard(s):
CD69. Creatively explores and experiments using a variety of sensory material.
CD48. Demonstrates an awareness and the effects of certain actions.
CD60. Experiments with wet and dry materials to discover different properties.
PW36. Controls small muscles in hand.
Behavioral Objectives/Learning Outcomes:
I would like the children to become aware of how cold it has to be for snowflakes to form. I would also like them to understand the different textures depending on how cold the weather is.
Motivational Techniques: (What will you use to pair with lesson (i.e. a book, song, video etc)
Snow and Snowflakes-youtube- http://bitIgGcoyp learning video.
Winter Hokey pokey- https://Itunes.apple.com/usalbum/pre song.
Procedures: (Step by Step how to do the activity)
The children with help will make Snow playdough and gather a variety of small plastic animals. In a large bowl they will add- 1 cup of flour- pinch of salt- 1tbsp of oil- 1tsp white paint and 2 tbsp of baking soda. The children will then knead all ingredients together shaping the ingredients into a ball. With a rolling pin they will smooth it out and place it on a flat tray. With the small plastic animals they will make small footprints in the dough.
Materials:
White playdough -Tray
Rolling pin- small plastic animals
Wrap-up:
Children will identify small animal prints in the playdough.
Children will understand more about the way snow forms.
Assessment
Experiment with different materials on different surfaces to produce a variety of effects.
Modifications: If you don't have play dough ingredients you can use white flour on a tray to make animal footprints.
Helpful Hints:
If dough does not form add more oil ,if you have no plastic animals make prints with fingers.
