This week our kindergarten scientists looked at a group of materials in a bucket and discussed how they could sort them into groups. The materials included a wide assortment or objects including wooden blocks, golf tee's, pipe cleaners, washers, bingo chips, marbles etc. The students had to sort the materials into different groups of their choice and then explain why they sorted each materials into those groups. Some kids sorted things by color, others by shape and some by material. Over the course of the next two weeks our students will have a chance to sort these materials into several series of groups as they learn how to sort and classify materials based on their properties. |
