Water Cycle in a Bag Experiment
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Accumulation!
Observe the water cycle in your classroom. Using a sandwich bag and colored water watch the water form vapor and then "rain" inside the baggie. Students love this!
This download includes directions and a two page, detailed observation sheet to record the progress four times.
My class said this was their favorite activity of the year. I hang the baggies on the window facing our school courtyard and always get compliments on how appealing

Picture Sort for Science Unit on Matter
This file contains pictures of 20 everyday items that are solids, liquids, and gases. This sort can be printed once and used as an interactive sort into solid, liquid, and gas categories. It can also be used as an assessment (students each receive a copy, cut out each item, and sort independently). This file includes two pages: one with solid, liquid, and gas labels (I have students glue one of each label onto the short end of a 12x18" sheet of construction paper), and the other with the objects

Oil and Water Science Experiment
I did this with my students today. I saved up a bunch of water bottles and the students watched as I put it together. All you do is add some water, oil and food coloring. I put a little super glue on the lids so my behavior babies wouldn't have the chance to make a mess.
I teach kindergarten, so I used the younger version of the papers I created. I first let them explore with the bottles, tilt them, move them, give them a little shake. Then I had them get our their science journals. We added t

Primary GATE -- AIR! Active, Creative, Academic, and Hands-on!
I am always trying to figure out what to do with my little primary groups, and this unit was a definite hit with my kindergartners. It would work well with 1st grade too or the regular 2nd grade classroom. The full unit contains more than 2 hours of contact time.
It’s active, fun, and challenging for these little ones and seemed to have the right combination of “get up and move,” imagination, creativity, and “making” along with academic tasks.
We learn about four important properties of air
