Determine the size of your space. Measure it so that you can determine the correct size shelving or tables that could be utilized. Do not forget to measure vertically. You can make use of vertical space with wall shelves and hooks.
Acquire a desk or small shelving unit. Also get different-sized translucent boxes with lids for storage.
Set up a single focus display on the desk, such as magnifiers, prisms, mirrors or magnets and different objects to observe, such as fabrics or feathers.
Store unused items in the boxes and label well. Consider using pictures along with words on the labels so that the children can understand what belongs in each box.
Regularly alternate the materials to provide new opportunities for learning.
Grow lima beans or other easy-to-grow plants on the window sill or on a table near the windows.
Weigh and measure the students at the beginning, middle, and end of the year to see how much they've grown. Discuss the human body and how it works.
Keep a class pet, if possible. Meal worms are easy to care for and require little space, and students can monitor their life cycle.
Take the class to the kitchen for a cooking lesson. Teach safety first and monitor all activities, while learning about food science.
Take a nature walk outside, collecting leaves, twigs and other items for use in an art project.
