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.
