ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

FOOD CHAIN

An order in which living things depend on each other for food.

We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.

This is the same for both plants and animals.

However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!

The sun helps them make food through the process called 'photosynthesis'.

And because of this special power, plants are called producers.

They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers.

We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.

They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.

Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question:

How do animals go through a process of change?

Preschoolers are CURIOUS

What could be a fun way to learn about the life cycle of a plant? This week, the preschoolers started observing how plants grow and change. Day 1 Preschoolers put their seeds in a cup. Day 2 They saw a little sprout starting to come out and noticed that the skin was coming off. Day 3 The sprout was getting longer and longer.. Everyday they completed their observation notebook. They wrote the day, the date, how it looked like, and labeled the drawing. Lastly, they wrote down their observations. Preschoolers also learned how to use the ruler and measure in centimeters! They used magnifying lens to zoom in to the seeds and have a better look of the changes that was happening. To develop their research skills, Preschoolers started looking at books related to the unit. They copied and wrote down information they found and draw things that interest them.
