The World Around Us: Amazing Science Facts!
Learning Goals:
- Learn new words about science.
- Talk about cool science facts.
- Read a story about science.
- Listen to a description about how science helps us understand the world.
- Write about a science topic you find interesting.
Key Words:
- Gravity: The force that pulls everything down to the Earth.
- Motion: The way things move.
- Cell: A tiny building block of all living things.
- Ecosystem: A place where plants and animals live and work together.
- Atom: A tiny particle that makes up everything around us.
Let’s Talk About It!
- What is gravity? Can you give an example of how gravity works?
- Have you ever looked at cells under a microscope? What did you see?
- What are some things that make up an ecosystem? (Think about a forest: trees, animals, soil, water, air.)
Let’s Read a Story!
In a world full of magic, there was a force called Gravity. Gravity kept everything on the ground. Without gravity, people would float away! The trees in the forest helped make air for everyone to breathe. Tiny cells inside our bodies helped us stay alive. Everything worked together to make the world amazing!
Questions about the Story:
- What is Gravity?
- What do the trees do?
- What are cells?
Listen and Learn!
(Teacher plays a short clip of a scientist explaining how different parts of science like gravity, motion, cells, and ecosystems work together to create our world.)
Talk with a Partner!
One of you is a scientist. The other is a curious person who wants to know more about science.
Example:
- Curious Person: “What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned as a scientist?”
- Scientist: “I think it’s amazing how all living things are made of tiny cells that work together!”
Homework:
Write a short paragraph about a science topic you find interesting. It could be about animals, planets, the human body, or anything else you’re curious about.
Extra Fun:
If you can, do a simple science experiment at home with a friend or family member! You can find many ideas online.
