We just finished a great weather unit, capped off by a visit to the local news station, and now we're moving on to a study of springtime. Each year, we do this, but we can take our study a little deeper each year as the kids get older. We spent Monday's science time reviewing just what causes the seasons and watched some pretty neat videos online. I'll try to remember to post the links for them later. Then, on Tuesday, we began a unit available online through http://www.nappc.org/curriculum/ . It's called "Nature's Partners: Pollinators, Plants, and You" and is made up of six modules. So far, we have done modules 1 and 2, and it hits all the learning types! It includes background information and reproducibles, too! One word of caution--there is some hint of an evolutionary slant, but you don't have to share that. It's just as easy to point out, instead of evolution, how God created the plants and pollinators to work together in the pollination process.
This is a free curriculum and really gets brains in gear as kids observe, make models, process data, and learn tons about the importance of those tiny beings we call pollinators. Check it out!
