1 Lesson Plan POND(er) This! This lesson plan works very well with children preschool through second grade. The lesson lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, based on the number of books read. To orient the children to what it means to be a scientist, think scientifically and do science, use the A Scientist Is and Scientific Method handouts available at the end of this lesson plan. Please consider borrowing our pond STEM kit it filled with more fun activities and additional detailed information about the science of ponds. SING Begin with your favorite welcome song. SCIENCE CHAT Begin a theme on fish at circle time by freestyle asking the children what they know about ponds. SOME FACTS ABOUT PONDS What is a pond, anyway? A pond is a small body of water. It is more precisely defined as a still body of water smaller than a lake, often shallow enough for rooted plants [give example of rooted plants] to grow throughout. Discuss: Biggest to smallest bodies of water: OCEAN, LAKE, POND, PUDDLE Show pictures of all four at the end of this lesson plan. Who lives in (or around) a pond? Show pond plants and creatures found at the end of this lesson plan. 1 P age
2 Talk about what it means to observe and observe characteristics of the children (i.e., brown hair, blue eyes, etc.) Then ask the children to observe characteristics of the pond plants and creatures at the end of the lesson plan. READ Suggestions from the Wisconsin Water Librarians, but feel free to swap out with your own OR visit our subject specific reading list: Ponds and Lakes. READ: Song of the Water Boatman (2005) by Joyce Sidman illustrated by Beckie Prange READ: What s In The Pond? (1999) by Anne Hunter Choose a few of the insects, animals and plants featured in the book and read the descriptions. Some helpful questions include: What creatures do you see? Which is the biggest? Which is the smallest? READ: Turtle Splash: Countdown at the Pond (2001) by Cathryn Falwell READ: Pond Circle (2009) by Betsy Franco illustrated by Stefano Vitale SING Use any song you like adapted to the theme of ponds. Here is one suggestion: Critters in a Pond (Sung to the tune of The wheels on the bus ) After the first verse ask the children what other creatures they would find in a pond. The geese in the pond go "honk, honk, honk" "honk, honk, honk" "honk, honk, honk" The geese in the pond go "honk, honk, honk" All around the pond Frogs go "ribbit Geese go honk Dragonfly goes quiver Turtles go silent 2 P age
3 Swallows go swoop Herons go lunge Ducks go quack CRAFT IDEA: Lily Pad Supplies needed: paper to print lily pads large blue construction paper (ponds) assorted construction paper scraps glue scissors any sticker/material/item to create a pond creature that comes to mind markers/crayons/colored pencils assorted stickers How to: Have the children create their own lily pads sitting in/on top of a pond. Use the lily pad cutout at the end of this lesson plan and print it on green paper OR have the children color it in green. Glue the lily pad on a large piece of blue construction paper cut into the oblong shape of a pond (using whatever curves you like). Then decorate the paper pond (using markers/crayons/colored pencils, stickers of plants and insects, construction-paper cut-outs) with creatures, fish, and plant life in and around ponds, reviewing key points learned during the science chat or in the books. 3 P age
