Every animal has a home
Kindergartners learn that an environment is the place where a plant or animal lives, and that it gives them what they need: food, water, shelter and air. They sort places into land and water and match animals to their homes, like a frog by the pond and a polar bear on the ice. They also notice that animals change their environment, like a squirrel digging or a bird building a nest. The click comes when kids see that each animal lives where its needs are met.
Young scientists learn best by looking and sorting. These moves make it easy.
Show a big picture of a pond and a field and ask, "Who lives here?" Kids point and name animals. Then they color land and water on their own sheet. Starting with what they can see builds the idea.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
