Jamie Washington’s PBL- Science-Kindergarten

Problem- How does day turn into night? What is different during the daytime and nighttime? What stays the same?

Outcomes- Kindergarten students will demonstrate patterns of day and night with a globe and flashlight. Students will be able to describe time patterns and objects in the day and night sky and will construct simple models of the day and night sky.

Resources- //__Goodnight Moon__//, Google Earth, //__What Makes Day and Night __// by Franklyn Branley

Standards addressed- ** SKCS3. Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and ** ** manipulating objects in scientific activities. ** b. Make something that can actually be used to perform a task, using paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, metal, or existing objects. (For example: paper plate day and night sky models)

** SKE1. Students will describe time patterns (such as day to night and night to day) and objects (such as sun, moon, stars) in the day and night sky. ** a. Describe changes that occur in the sky during the day, as day turns into night, during the night, and as night turns into day. b. Classify objects according to those seen in the day sky and those seen in the night sky.
