I'm Going to be a Farmer by Edith Kungardt
Science/Social Studies:
We will read It Started As a Seed before planting our own seeds (beans). We will also observe
the sprouts and roots on a sweet potato placed in water. They will be amazed at how fast
they grow!
We will relate the farm theme to the five senses:
Taste food
Hear animal sounds
Touch fur or plants
Sight: differentiate animals by number of legs, body coverings, size
Barnyard smells
We will examine rooster feathers with magnifying glasses and even observed the changes
an eggshell undergoes when left in vinegar (We place an egg in a glass of vinegar.
They notice the bubbles forming around the shell, the smell of the vinegar, and later how
the shell feels different. After 4 days, the shell is no longer hard, but rubbery. It will even
bounce..... just do so carefully!).
