Science Lab- States of Matter
Hello everyone, this month with Mother Goose Time we will be learning about science. So Monday we kicked it off learning about Properties of Matter and the kids were excited. Tuesday the children learned about States of Matter.
I wanted the kids to see solid, liquid and, gas and I explained to them how the ice turns into liquid and liquid into gas. So I gave them all a piece of ice so they could have hand on experience watching the ice melt into a liquid.
 
The next activity was Molecule Discovery.
 
Later on the children made Liquid Solid Blob  art project.
 
The last activity was Dramatic Play Digging.
H is for Hippopotamus
Hello everyone, on Friday with Mother Goose Time we talked about the hippopotamus. The first activity we did was
“H is for Hippo.” The girls read MGT, I Can Read “Animals A-Zoo book.”
Then the girls played “Hippo Safety.” I set up an obstacle course so the girls can understand how hippos can run fast for a short distance before slowing down.
 
Later on the girls played “Hippo Moves” game.
 
Then built shelters for the animals.
D is For Dolphin
Hi everyone, on Monday with Mother Goose Time  we talked about the letter D. The first activity the children did was “Dolphin Food.” I filled a tube with water and put in the provided letter tiles. Then the children scooped them up with Spoons.
 
The next activity “Swimming Dolphin.” The girls used their hula hoops as swimming pools and pretended to be dolphins playing with toys.
Later on the girls played “Dolphin Toys” a shape matching game.
 
Then colored  “D is for Dolphin. ”
All alphabet coloring worksheets are from twistynoodle.com and this is not a  sponsored post. 😉
Alligator
Hello everyone, today we started a new theme called A to Zoo Animals with Mother Goose Time. So today we did A is for Alligator and the first activity we started with “Alligator Toes.” The kids made alligators with play-doh and used golf tees for legs or to create texture on their alligators.
 
The next activity the children did was “A to Zoo Alphabet.” We used letter tiles and the book “A to Z Animals” provided by MGT. I layed the tiles on the floor and turned them over, then had the kids pick letter and find the letter and animal in the book.
 
 
 
Later on the girls made “Alligator Puppets” with the provided MGT material.
 
Bubbles
Hello everyone on Tuesday with Mother Goose Time, we talked about bubbles.
The first activity the kids did was “Bubble Art.” They used bubble wrap and a paper towel roll.
 
Then the girls did “Bubble Science.” We used food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar.
 
 
Later on we played “Catch the Bubble.” They counted and popped the bubbles.
River
Hi everyone, last Monday we started Bubbles, Boats & Floats with Mother Goose Time. The girls learned about the river and what lives in around it such as otters, beavers, fish, and bears.
The first activity the girls started with was “River Names.”
Then they did a “River Collage” with the provided Mother Goose Time materials.
 
Later on the girls played “River Food” game.
  
The Butterfly House
Hi everyone, during the time of Bees and Butterflies, I bought a Live Butterfly Garden from Amazon so the children could see the stages of the butterfly. Â I also bought a book ” National Geographic kids Caterpillar to Butterfly.” Here are some pictures of the caterpillar changing into a butterfly.
 
 The caterpillars are in J formation transforming into chrysalis.
The children are watching the butterflies come out of their chrysalis.
 Releasing the butterflies.
I can say this was an awesome experience and a good learning experience for everyone.
Eggs
Hi everyone, on Monday with Mother Goose Time, the girls learned about eggs. The first activity the girls did was “Eggs on a Leaf” with the provided MGT materials.
 
Then the girls played a game called “Would you Rather.”
 
After awhile they wrote a “Egg Story.”
 
Here is one of our favorite butterfly books.
