Science
of the Week
Guide
with Curriculum suggestions for Kindergarten Ages 4 & 5
written and compiled
by
Katrina Lybbert
"Science
of the Week" is a guide to reading the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out
Science books, and includes suggestions for making this a science curriculum
for the Kindergarten years. (However this curriculum is adaptable
to be used with children from ages 3 - 9.)
I have
chosen to work with 80 different Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science books.
I chose the books based on their availability at my public library.
You can read up to 40 books each year. You can go through the books
in any order. Encourage your child to choose what is interesting
to him or her.
With
my children (ages 4 & 8) I have been following a 3 term school year
(12 weeks each term, for a total of 36 weeks). I spend 2 - 3 days
a week on science and therefore we are covering 6 books a term.
