Paul the penguin and his science pals : Engineering. by Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; SchoolMedia, Inc.;

The scientific explanation (approximately 3 min.) -- Science SingAlong "Think like a scientist" (3 min.) -- Sinking and floating, Paul and his science pals (approximately 6 min.) -- Sinking and floating, making clay boats (approximately 5 min.) -- Moving things, Paul and his science pals (approximately 6 min.) -- Moving things, moving over different surfaces (approximately 4 min.) -- Mixtures, Paul and his science pals (approximately 5 min.) -- Mixtures, exploring Oobleck (approximately 5 min.) -- Building structures -- Design a communication code -- Energy -- Magnetic & nonmagnetic -- Magnets are magnificent, poles -- Mixtures -- Paul and his science pals, Using materials -- engineering -- Preparing a severe weather kit -- Properties, sorting objects -- Research and build a map -- Seeing salt water -- Solving problems in our environment -- Using materials -- Using materials science sing-along, engineering.Building structures: Two students are given the opportunity the design, draw and build a model of their ideas for a playground structure for their school. After reviewing visuals of typical structures the students are given common home building pvc pipes and connectors to create models of their ideas.Design a communication code: Today, two students, with the help of their teacher, use snaps, claps, and hand signals to design several audio and visual codes to help them communicate with each other in the lab. They'll then combine their new codes into a complete message signaling that the lab is over.Energy: In today's lab, Mariana and Melena, discover their teacher wearing a gas-powered leaf blower, while playing with a flashlight and solar oven. They brainstorm ways that these items are similar and realize they all use energy, albeit from different sources. The flashlight uses batteries, and their teacher knows of an unusual source of electrical energy: copper wire, nails, and lemons. Using these materials, they explore whether or not it's possible to to power an LED bulb with fruit, and discuss if citrus is a good source of renewable energy.Magnetic & nonmagnetic: Two students, with direction from their teacher, explore the amazing world of magnetism. With the help of magnets, the students test various objects to see if they are magnetic or not. Using a T-chart, they record which objects are magnetic, and which are not. They construct rules to use in predicting the magnetic nature of objects.Magnets are magnificent: Poles: Under the direction of their teacher, two students explore the ways magnets push and pull other magnetic objects. Students learn about the poles of a magnet and discover different ways to "see" the invisible magnetic field using iron filings, and by studying how magnets attract or repel other magnets.Mixtures: Exploring Oobleck: In this hands on activity two students, with assistance from their teacher, mix a solid and a liquid, cornstarch and water, with surprising results.Mixtures: Mix it up with Funnel and learn what happens when you combine different kinds of solids and liquids. Accompanied by visuals, students will see how some solids dissolve in liquids, while some just don't mix together at all!Mixtures: Our students are surprised today in their lab as they study mixtures ... and make a healthy lunch. They mix solids with solids in salad contents, liquid and liquid in a homemade dressing and finally solids and liquids in the finished dish. A health plus is the friendly presentation of fresh, unprocessed dark green vegetables. Then our students apply what they've learned as they explore the contents of the refrigerator ... discovering various other mixtures and describing their properties. Solutions are also discussed.Moving things: Moving over different surfaces: In this hands on activity two students, with direction from their teacher, test how the surface area of objects can affect the amount of force needed to move them. Recording observations are featured as students compare their experiences. Lab safety and procedure are practiced.Moving things: Paul and his science pals: Paul returns to the train tracks to search for his missing suitcase. Where is it? Why didn't it end up with Paul when it fell off the train with him? Finding the answers to these questions leads to discoveries about forces, friction, speed and paths of movement.Paul and his science pals: Using materials - engineering: Delta calls out the alarm because a part of the pond is dammed up! Seems like a problem to Delta but to Paul it is a marvel! That Bob the beaver can engineer such an amazing home gives Paul ideas about how he can use materials to build things, maybe even something to help him get to his brother's birthday party.Preparing a severe weather kit: Two students, Abby and Amina, discuss with their teacher various types of severe weather emergencies, and how to prepare for one. At their homes, Abby and Amina gather materials that they think will help them (and their families) be prepared in case severe weather strikes. Back in the lab, the students and their teacher evaluate the materials gathered as being appropriate or not appropriate for a severe weather emergency kit.Properties: Sorting objects: With direction from their teacher, two students learn how to classify various objects. Using a chart and their five senses the students will first observe the properties of several objects. Using a Venn Diagram, they will compare two or more objects and classify their properties as being alike or different.Research and build a map: Two students, with guidance from their teacher, learn how paper and electronic maps help people find locations. During a field trip to their local park, the students research the distance between the park's features, and draw the landmarks to scale to build a map of their favorite place to play.Science SingAlong "Think like a scientist": Sing along with this exciting song about the scientific explaination. Memorable lyrics and energizing music teach the process, while student and adult scientists demostrate ways to develop a claim, gather evidence, and apply reasoning.Seeing salt water: Two students, Ambria and Mariana, learn that while ocean water and fresh water may look the same, they can do an experiment to actually see the salt in saltwater. With guidance from their teacher, they set up a pie plate with some salt water and observe it over several days. As the water evaporates, they can see the salt left behind. They record their observations in a chart.Sinking and floating: Making clay boats: In this hands on activity two students, with direction from their teacher, test clay to see if it will sink or float. Lab safety and procedure is demonstrated.Sinking and floating: Paul and his science pals: When Gavin the gopher burrows up under Paul the penguin, Paul falls into the pond. This starts discussion and actions all about sinking and floating. The force of gravity, buoyancy and the density of objects are defined.Solving problems in our environment: Two students, with the help of their teacher, brainstorm about changes they can make around the house to help conserve the resources they use everyday. They also discover that some materials break down faster than others by testing two different egg cartons in water. They learn that it's best to recycle or reuse products whenever possible to help keep our landfills from overflowing.The scientific explanation: Paul the penguin, along with Soila, Delta and Gavin introduce students to the Scientific Explanation. Students Paige and Elijah develop a claim, gather evidence and apply reasoning to what they discover.Using materials science sing-along: Engineering: Sing along with music and lyrics that pin the unit vocabulary terms to strong images that represent the concepts used in engineering.Using materials: Two students observed various features of plants and animals and examine equipment commonly used by people. They are asked to analyze and hypothesize a connection between things found in nature and the ideas engineers may have used to develop items that solve problems for people. After viewing visuals of these items and connections the students are given the opportunity to create their own versions with natural materials.Grades Pre-K-K.Ages 3-5.
