ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Ada Twist Scientist – Children’s Books Read Aloud – by Andrea Beaty – Let’s Read Stories
Welcome to the world of Ada Twist! Ada is a curious little girl who loves to ask questions and explore the world around her. Let’s dive into her exciting adventures and learn some fun things along the way!
Ada Twist is a scientist. Do you know what a scientist does? A scientist asks lots of questions and tries to find answers by exploring and experimenting. Ada is always wondering about how things work and why things happen.
Ada loves to ask questions like, “Why does the sky change colors?” or “How do plants grow?” She uses her imagination and curiosity to think about these questions. Do you have questions about the world too? It’s fun to be curious!
Ada likes to explore by doing experiments. An experiment is when you try something out to see what happens. For example, you can mix colors to see what new colors you can make. You can also plant a seed and watch it grow into a plant. What experiments would you like to try?
Sometimes, Ada’s experiments don’t go as planned, but that’s okay! Scientists learn from their mistakes. If something doesn’t work, Ada tries again in a different way. Remember, it’s okay to make mistakes because they help us learn and grow.
You can be a scientist just like Ada! All you need is a curious mind and a love for asking questions. Next time you see something interesting, ask yourself, “Why is it like that?” or “How does it work?” Then, explore and find out!
Let’s do a fun activity together. Find a small cup and fill it with water. Add a few drops of food coloring and watch how the color spreads in the water. What do you see? Try mixing different colors and see what happens. You’re doing an experiment just like Ada!
Remember, being curious and asking questions is a wonderful way to learn about the world. Keep exploring and have fun being a scientist!
Color Mixing Adventure: Gather some clear cups, water, and different colors of food coloring. Ask the children to predict what will happen when two colors are mixed. Let them experiment by adding different colors to the water and observe the changes. Encourage them to describe the new colors they create and think about why the colors change when mixed.
Plant Growth Observation: Provide each child with a small pot, soil, and a seed (such as a bean or sunflower seed). Have them plant the seed and water it. Ask them to observe the plant every day and draw what they see in a journal. Encourage them to ask questions like, “What does the plant need to grow?” or “How does the plant change over time?” Discuss their observations and thoughts as a group.
Question of the Day: Start each day with a “Question of the Day” inspired by Ada Twist. For example, “Why do leaves change color in the fall?” or “How do birds fly?” Encourage the children to think about the question and share their ideas. You can explore the answers together through books, videos, or simple experiments.
