Do you know that, your child is not actively learning when they are watching a video?

They don't remember the things they see in the video. They only collect short term memories.

On the other hand, they can learn a whole bunch through life experiences.

For e.g. you can show a video of different type of plants, how they grow and what fruits they produce. But your child will not remember it for long.
But if you take him out after that and show real plants, touch the roots, smell the leaves, it's more meaningful for them.

Not just that, It will trigger more questions, for e.g. why are the colour of most flowers are bright?
Does tree drink water?
How do they eat?

These questions will lead them to learn deeper. When this happens, your job is to lead them to discover the answers... Not give it to them.

How to do that? Stay tune for the next tips.

Science Lesson: Animal's External Parts

By the end of this lesson, children will be able to:
1- Identify the external parts of animals (e.g beak, claws, hind legs, wings, frill, fins, horns, tail, feathers, webbed feet, antenna, hard shells, fine fur, scales)
2- Relate animals external body parts to their importance
3- Explain using an example the external parts of an animal

Intro:
We talked about what we have learned about animals' external body parts last week. Refresh on the names of animal's body parts that we've learned.
I shout out the name of the parts, the children give me the name of animals that have the mentioned part.

Activity 1:
Identifying the external parts of animals

We gather some books on animals (Grolier - "I Wonder Why?" books has beautiful images and interesting information about different animals)
Each child studies the animals and point out to the external body parts that they have learned.

Activity 2:
Relate to the importance of each animal's body part

Each child chooses an animal with a unique body part use. They learn more about this animal and their body parts.
They then draw their chosen animals and write down the importance of their body parts and how they use them.

Closing:
Present Your Animal!

Record a video of each child presenting their chosen animal ask questions about the importance of its body parts.
Children can do whatever they like to present the animals (based on their abilities) e.g. imitate the animals
