Kindergarten Scientists!

Kindergarteners are using their built in science tool kit (their five senses) to discover what is living and non-living.  They are also recording and sharing their observations with their classmates.

We did a classroom scavenger hunt for living and non-living objects.  There were so many of both!  There are lots of living critters in the science room!

Sharing what they found in the classroom with each other.


Holly the Russian tortoise was very popular for
something living!

Look at what I found!

What about a pencil?

Adding color to your drawings is adding detail!


Scientists share information with one another.

Next we went outside to Lorianne's garden inside the Pre-K school yard.  It's a special garden that we explored looking for living and non-living objects.  So many different types of plants: trees, bushes, flowers and grass.  We also saw animals: birds, ants, bees and a butterfly or two.  We found lots of non-living things too! We saw benches, signs, bird feeders, rocks, a bead, a fence and wheelbarrow!  We weren't sure about sticks and leaves on the ground.

Look at the bee!


The bark of the tree is so rough and we found ants on it!

What about the wood chips? Are they living or
non-living?

The bird bath is non-living!
The bench is non-living!


It's always special to be able to explore Lorianne's garden.
