Reception / Kindergarten (Ages 5-6)
Science
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Insects | 5 minutes | Begin with a brief discussion about what insects are. Show picture cards and ask students if they can name any insects. |
| 2 | Insect Characteristics | 10 minutes | Discuss characteristics of insects (six legs, wings, etc.) and show the diorama. Engage students by asking questions about what they see. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 minutes | Divide students into small groups. Give each group magnifying glasses to observe insect pictures more closely. Ask them to identify differences. |
| 4 | Independent Work | 5 minutes | Hand out worksheets and instruct students to draw their favorite insect and color it. They can also label its body parts. |
| 5 | Review and Closure | 5 minutes | Review the main points of the lesson. Collect the worksheets for assessment and ask a few students to share what they drew without presentation pressure. |
This lesson corresponds to the national curriculum for early science education by addressing living things and their environments, engaging in observation, and developing vocabulary.
Provide students with a worksheet to color an insect at home and bring it back for a "class insect gallery." Collect these without presentations in class.
