Leaf Sorting Activity: Kindergarten Science Projects
Science, Life Sciences, Nature & Plants, Biology, Grade 1, 2, Activities
Leaf Sorting Activity: Kindergarten Science Projects This Leaf Sorting lesson pack can help you to deliver the National Curriculum (or other Science curriculum for ages 5 to 6) for Science in Year 1. It is best carried out in autumn as the leaves fall, but can also be done in spring as new leaves emerge and children's interest in them can be excited. The Leaf Sorting Activity includes References to the relevant parts of the National Curriculum (but the activity does not have to be used in conjunction with the UK National Curriculum ). * 12 pictures of varying leaves, suitable for sorting according to vein pattern, formation and leaf properties (e.g. prickly/rounded edges, deep cut edges etc..) - in two sizes for whole class/group use or display. * a My Leaf recording worksheet * a sheet of 12 small pictures to sort, cut out and stick. How to sort leaves Leaves can be sorted according to several different factors. Sort by one property at a time. Edge - wavy, prickly, jagged, sharp etc… (let the children suggest ideas) Veins: One ‘spine’ vein with branches (many leaves) Like umbrella spokes (Nasturtium) Several main veins coming from base of leaf, with branches from each (Sycamore) Feel/look: soft, hairy, sharp, prickly, smooth, rough, tough, shiny etc… Colour: shade of green in spring/summer, or autumn colours (red, orange, brown, yellow etc…) Can the children find: All the prickly leaves? All the deeply notched leaves? All the leaves with leaflets? All the soft leaves? Etc… Children may dispute whether a leaf falls into a category or not. Use this as valuable discussion, always securing a good reason for their thinking. How to use the activity Class sorting: Let individual children hold up to 5 large leaf pictures. Can the children see two leaves that might match and say how they match? Now can they see if any other leaves fit that group - hold up the other leaf pictures one by one and see if they fit, passing the picture to another child to join the group, if that leaf fits. Does this leaf have …? Try sorting by various properties before letting the children take a leaf to sketch and describe on the ‘My leaf’ sheet. Group sorting: A small group of children can be challenged to find a way of sorting the leaves so that as many of them as possible are in a group. Or, more simply: Can you find the leaves that are pointed/sharp/have leaflets, are soft etc… Children can then be given the sheet of small leaves to sort in the way the teacher outlines. More! See our Autumn Leaves PowerPoint and All about Autumn PowerPoint What is included? 1 PDF with 13 pages: 12 small leaf pictures 12 large matching leaf pictures A sheet of 12 small pictures to sort, cut out and stick.

Miss Marple – A Classic Movie Detective A reading-based worksheet set with optional film tasks (grades 7–10) 🎥🕵️♀️ A printable and digital resource This material introduces students to the character of Miss Marple as portrayed by Margaret Rutherford in the classic black-and-white crime comedies based on Agatha Christie’s novels. Whether your students are already familiar with detective fiction or encountering it for the first time, this resource offers a simple and accessible way to combine reading skills, character study, and media analysis. The core of the material is a short informational text that provides background on the character and the actress who portrayed her. Students work with a structured profile sheet and a short quiz to reinforce their understanding. If you choose to watch a Miss Marple film with your class, there are two additional worksheets: one for summarizing the movie plot and one for writing a short review. What’s included: Informational text about Miss Marple and Margaret Rutherford Worksheet to create a character profile Quiz questions with solution key Film content worksheet (optional use) Film review worksheet (optional use) Solutions for all main tasks Format: PDF (print-friendly and digital) How it works in class: This is the kind of resource I like to keep on hand for flexible lessons. It works well as a quiet reading and writing task on its own, or as part of a small media project. Watching one of the Miss Marple films adds variety to the lesson and gives students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a fun and creative way. The film-related worksheets are structured, so even students with less writing experience can follow along easily. Great for regular lessons, substitute plans, or simply when you want to bring a bit of classic British mystery into your classroom. Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

14 Random Writing Prompts: Character, Situation, Prop, Setting, Phrase
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
The Google Slideshow, 14 Random Writing Prompts : Character, Situation, Prop, Setting, and Phrase provides students with interesting and fun prompts for unique short stories and flash fiction. The prompts include ideas for writing realistic fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery. stories Each prompt is structured with a character idea, a situation, a prop, a setting, and a phrase that they can seamlessly incorporate into their narratives and are designed to foster the development of compelling characters, gripping conflicts, vivid settings, and evocative moods. The prompts can be used in any order and can be customized to cater to the diverse needs of your students, whether they are Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)-identified, have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), are second-language learners, or fall into the general education category. Each time we write, I share 3-4 slides . Sometimes students will choose to mix and match different elements from different slides to write a story.Over the course of 25-30 minutes, they write to one or two of the slides of their choice. The next time we write, I include the original 3-4 and I add 1 or 2 more slides . Eventually, they will see the whole slideshow. If my students aren’t inspired by the prompts, they can write whatever they feel like writing, work on a previous prompt to develop it, or work on something else they’ve been writing.Every few days, instead of writing, students break into small groups and choose one of their stories to share with their group members for feedback. Over time, your students will have one or more completed short stories or flash fiction pieces. I have produced a number of Creative Writing Slide Shows that you might be interested in: The Setting Sets the Mood: How to Write Effective Settings 24 Creative Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Students 24 Additional Creative Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Students Flash Fiction: 24 Creative Writing Prompts for Students Characterization: What It Is and How to Develop It Writing with Suspense: A Google Slideshow Contact me at gruenwaldy1@gmail.com if you have any questions.
