*Conceptual Understandings: Conceptual understandings are statements of essential ideas that accompany each of the overall
expectations. Conceptual understandings include concepts, skills, attitudes, and habits of mind.
The inquiry process helpd us to discover new information and to confirm or question our theories about the world.
*Overall Expectations (OE): Knowledge and skills described, in general terms, in each frame. Educators focus on the overall
expectations when co-constructing learning with the children.
13. As children progress through the kindergarten program they: use the processes and skills of an inquiry stance (i.e., questioning,
planning, predicting, observing, and communicating).
We will first predict how many lights passages it will I can communicate my answers to the class using
create. numbers, pictures, or words.
DO: CHALLENGE
In a small group, the children will put the “Why do you think it showed that many different
different sized prisms on the light to show projections?”
different light projections. They will also “Did your predictions match what happened in the
predict before placing the prism on the light experiment?”
table.
RESPRESENT: EXTEND
Set2016
Some children will represent and present “What would happen if you tried projecting the
their findings in writing, drawing, numbers, light with a different light source? (flashlight, sun,
or chart, to display their findings. classroom lights)
Teacher Questions/Prompts:
- What did you notice?
- What do you think is going to happen?
- What conclusions have you made from this experiment?
- Why do you think it is showing all these different projections?
- Are your predictions matching your results?
- What would happen if you put two different prisms on the projector?
- What would happen if you were to put coloured paper on the projector with the prisms?
Assessment Documentation:
- Documentation of learning
- Documentation with pictures of children participating in the investigation
- Documentation of what the children are saying and how they are learning
Materials required:
- Different sized/shaped prisms
- Projector
- Paper
- Pencils, markers, crayons
- Camera/I-pad
- Notepad to take notes during experiment
- Chart paper (to make a prediction list)

Script how you plan to engage the students with this opportunity.(if required)
I would gather the students together in a circle on the carpet. I would place the different sized prisms in the circle
and ask the students to make a list to predict what would happened when we used a different sized prism, with
using the previous knowledge collected yesterday from Will’s experiment with Tanner. Following the list, the
students would then go on and experiment by using the different sized prisms with the project.
