Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
Engage your students in hands on activities, that will spark discussions and questions about animal needs.
This engaging PowerPoint presentation will generate much discussion about the needs of animals and how animals meet those needs. Students are guided to observe patternsof how animals meet their needs for survival through their locomotion, body coverings, foods, and homes
Students make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on the Earth’s surface. Kindergarten students act as engineers as they design a structure to provide shade all day. A full and half size Engineering Journal are provided for recording.

Science Inquiry Processes are the skills students use to practice science. How can you teach these skills? In this packet, there are 13 activity lessons by Karen Ostlund and Sheryl Mercier to introduce the process skills of science. Each graphic could be enlarged for a poster, reduced for a center, or used as a transparency for group lessons.
In this series of activities/assessments, students make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on the Earth’s surface. Partners engage in an investigation to compare how sunlight affects dark rocks, light rocks, and soil.
