Kindergarten Science and Math Connection

In Adrienne's kindergarten class they have been learning a great deal about seeds and what they do for plants and humans.  It is the basis of the classroom inquiry project that her children have been exploring about.  As they move through this inquiry, they are also beginning to learn about graphing and sorting as they are covering Data Management right now.  

At one of her centres Adrienne created a t-chart with two headings "Seeds" and "No Seeds"  Using flyers from local grocery stores the children cut out different objects and place them under the correct heading.  Not only were they sorting objects into two groups they were deepening their knowledge about what things have seeds and what don't and also working on their fine motor skills by cutting.
