Food Chain

Since I had my animals out, I decided to make full use of it & conduct a simple activity with Sonshine.

 

It's all about animal's food chain!

 

I wrote down the definitions of 'Carnivores', 'Herbivores' and 'Omnivores'. We briefly discussed which animals belong to which group.

 

 

I showed him what is a food chain.

 

 

We also explored other food chains.

 

This lesson took us a grand total of 5 minutes. Now that Sonshine is older, he is hardly willing to sit down and have an activity with me (he has so many other hobbies competing time with me, sob). That's why I planned this in a bite size so that he can understand in a short time. Yay. Accomplished!

All that matters.

 

 

Sonshine has been learning about the different types of matter and their properties.

But I thought the information were all over the place and wanted him to have a visual aid to compare the different properties.

 

Hence, I made this simple chart using post-it pad. Whoops- just realised some stickers fell off.

 

We also took the chance to experiment which of the properties float and which sink. With this chart, Sonshine can make a comparison and I made him tell me for instance 'Metal is heavy but plastic is light' etc.
