Shapes, Colors, Sizes

Sample Grade PreK

Read the text below to explain that objects have different shapes, colors, and sizes. Then read the science story on the next page to your child.

Everything in our world has different shapes, colors, and sizes. Some are round, and some are square. Some objects are blue, and some objects are red. Some objects are big, some objects are small. Objects in our world can be different in many ways. Have your child look at the pictures above. Point out the different shapes and sizes of the objects. Ask your child to name the colors of the toys. Look around your child’s room for toys that have similar shapes and colors.

What Animals Need

Sample Grade K

Read the text below to explain that animals are living things that need food, water, air, and shelter. Then read the science story to your child.

Pets are animals. Animals are living things. Animals need four things to live and grow: food, water, air, and shelter. Shelter is a place where animals can go to be safe from weather or danger. Our homes give our pets shelter. Wild animals find shelter in trees, under rocks, and in the ground. Look at the pictures with your child. Talk about the different types of food and shelter that different animals need to live and grow. Then talk about how pets get water and how wild animals might get water. 48

Classroom Pet

Animals are living things. They need food, water, air, and shelter to live and grow. Our class pet, Miss Bunny, needs all those things. A wild rabbit finds its own food, water, and shelter. But Miss Bunny is a pet. We give her fresh hay and carrots. We give her clean water, too. A wild rabbit has a cozy hole in the ground for shelter. Miss Bunny has a cage in our classroom’s quiet corner.

Luna’s mom came home with a surprise for Luna. “What is in the box?” Luna asked her mom. “Take a look and see,” replied Luna’s mom. Luna opened the box and saw a bunny! She was happy to have a new pet, but Luna did not know how to take care of a bunny. “Animals need food, water, air, and shelter,” said Luna’s mom. “I will give it some food and water, but we will need shelter for it.” Can you make a bunny cage for Luna’s pet?

The Moon

Sample Grade 1

Read the text below to explain that the moon is a big ball of rock that moves around the Earth. Then read the science story to your child.

We can see the moon shining in the sky at night.

craters

The moon is a big ball of rock that moves around the Earth. There is no air on the moon, but there are mountains, flat lands, rocks, and big holes called craters.

The moon looks bright because the sun shines on it and lights it up. The moon seems to change shape, but that is because we can only see the part of it that is lit up by the sun. The shapes of the moon we see are called the phases of the moon. moon phases Together with your child, look at the night sky. Have your child point to the moon and tell you what he or she knows about it.

Big Brother and the Big Moon My big brother Neil reads books about the moon. He says the moon looks small, but it isn’t. The moon is a big ball of rock that is very far away. Neil says it has big holes called craters. The moon looks like it changes shape, but Neil says it doesn’t. The sun lights up the moon, so we only see the part that is lit. Neil says the moon has no air. That’s why plants, animals, and people can’t live on the moon. I’m going to look at the moon with Neil tonight! © Evan-Moor Corp. • EMC 9927 • Smart Start: STEM
