Less than $5 Homeschool Earth Sciences Projects

This Plant Observation Journal is designed to help preschool, kindergarten, and grade 1 and 2 students document and learn about plant growth in a fun and educational way.

The journal will serve as a teaching tool for teachers to incorporate into lesson plans, encourage observation skills and critical thinking in students, and foster meaningful conversations about nature between parents and their children.

Additionally, it will promote hands-on learning, creativity, and a lifelong love for nature, making it a valuable resource for all involved in the preschooler's learning journey.

This project is great for the end of the year. That weird time between end of course tests and the school year end is challenging. The project is mostly self-paced and great for those days that you only see some classes throughout the day. Minimum materials are needed! 11x7 paper, lined, paper, the packet, and yarn!

Student will make a map, complete a packet, and write some journal entries on how they would survive if they were stranded on a deserted island.

This product is only the slides. You will need the bundle to do this project.
