Opis

The unit guides developed by the author is provided as examples of how an inquiry - based on science curriculum might be implemented in kindergarten classrooms. I offer project for teaching life cycle of silkworm to kindergarten children according to the program based on observation of life cycle silkworm, the examples used in this project are meant guides that teachers can modify, adapt, and extend to suit their needs and those of their children. The life cycle of silkworm is 62 days approximately. This silkworm is especially well suited for classroom study. It is small and brightly colored, will accept one kind of food. Is found worldwide, and undergoes complete metamorphosis in a relatively short time. The main objective of the unit is to introduce young children to the concept of life cycles by using one organism as example children also learn scientific vocabulary. The first eight lessons focus on caterpillar and cocoon stages of the silkworm. Children begin their study of these two stages by sharing their prior knowledge of caterpillars and then as, a pre -assessment exercise, they draw what they think a caterpillar looks like. In lesson 2, they learn about caterpillars'
