Using ingredients commonly found in the kitchen, students will begin to develop an understanding about the properties of matter and how matter can change when different ingredients are mixed together.

The “Science Kids” series is intended to help teachers implement developmentally appropriate, hands-on science activities for children in Preschool, Kindergarten and the early grades. The activities in these packets are based on the scientific method and encourage inquiry-based learning. All activities can be differentiated to meet the needs of your students.

This packet includes:

• Explanation of the stages of scientific inquiry for teachers

• Six investigations that encourage HANDS ON learning (with explanations of “How it works”)

• Printable scientific recording sheets for tracking hypotheses and data

• Guide for helping students develop an independent investigation
