As students discovered what they were hearing, they were asked to record their ideas on a white board.
Pop! Pop! Pop, pop, pop!
The markers were just going as fast as they could to record their thinking about what they were hearing and now smelling.
We asked the students to talk at their tables about what they thought they were going to learn about in Science. The conversation was awesome. Students were sharing their ideas and giving evidence for their thinking.
We then talked about how popcorn is a great tool to teach students about the 5 senses and we brainstormed all of the things we could do to better understand popcorn.
- Hear it pop or crunch when we chew
- Smell is cook
- Feel it in our hands
- Look at it with our eyes
- Taste it with our mouths
They loved this introduction to the 5 senses, what fun in kindergarten today!
