Kindergarten activity ideas, please? I am on an internship?

Science Activity ... Kindergarten ... ideas?

• For school, my group and I have to make a lesson plan for a science activity. It can be for children age seven and younger. Once we write out the lesson plan, we have to actually demonstrate the task to the class. I wanted to do plants, but it's not interesting enough for me. Any ideas? Something that can involve other aspects of learning .... like art, math, and more. Thanks.

• Answer:

  Pour a thin layer of milk into a shallow dish or plate. Drop a few drops of differently coloured food colourings into the middle of the plate. Take a cotton bud and dip the end in washing up liquid. Then put the cotton bud into the centre of the dish with the milk & food colouring in and see what happens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5Wl-V5zOGs To set this up to be more "Sciencey" you could ask children to predict what they think will happen beforehand, then explain what happened afterwards. If your school is lucky enough to have them, children could take photos of what happened using digital cameras (ICT links). They could paint or draw pictures of what they saw (Art links). They could describe what they saw using descriptive language (Literacy links). not sure how your curriculum tallies up with the UK on, but that lesson would go down a storm in a school here!
