Strive for Success - Science (Classical Conversations Cycle 1)
/We were so busy during this class that I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. However, I do have links where I got a lot of the fun activities we did. All of the strive for success events were to help prepare the kids who wanted to try for Memory Masters. It was a fun way to review a lot of information together.
For the science day I set up a bunch of stations the kids could choose from around the house, and outside.
In the garage there was a station to classify animals. I bought a packet on Teachers Pay Teachers of animal cards to be classified and sorted. It also included a lap book activity the kids enjoyed.

On the kitchen window I made the ocean floor out of brown painters paper. I taped blue paper behind it to look like the ocean. I made cards with the types of ocean floor and names of the ocean zones on them so the kids could label everything. Each of the cards had a piece of Velcro on it so it could be attached to the other side of Velcro on the painters paper.
In the dining room there were a bunch of activities to choose from.
Parts of a flower lap book

Outside I laid out some picnic blankets and cloud finders so the kids could lay down, look at the clouds, and identify what types of clouds they could see.

We kept the cloud finders in the car for a few weeks after we made them!
To help learn about clouds I also laminated some pages with more information about what they look like and where they are located. I laminated the pages then taped tracing paper on top of them so the kids could trace the types of clouds.
