Timesaving Easter Science and Craft activity...

Save time planning and preparing by integrating this Easter craft with the science skills of observation and classification.

Follow each step with an observation drawing to make quick and easy science recording booklets. Add a cover, a parent explanation page and the Easter science booklet is complete.

Integrating Science and other subjects saves time...

Since most educators are shopping for, and preparing for arts and crafts activities anyhow, using your craft materials to teach science can save you a lot of time.

As a busy teacher or parent, it can be easier to give kids worksheets about science, rather than involving them in actual science investigations. Keeping science meaningful for children and easy for educators is the way to go. Adapt the 8 steps for introducing and integrating science here and your students will soon be hard at work problem solving, testing, experimenting and thinking spatially and numerically about their surroundings.

An example "Leaf Man" craft and science activity is included on the page.

Science Materials

Science center materials need not be expensive. There are numerous everyday items, as well as commercial science equipment, available to teach children about science. I picked up many at garage sales. Suggested Earth science, physical science and life science toys...
