Science Extension
+ Introduction to Project
As education majors, we were able
to combine our math educational
outreach experiences and create a
science extension lesson plan and
activity to be shared with the peers
in our Physical Science class.
+ Project Objectives
Our objective is to learn the math and science concepts at the college level and apply them to as we create
learning experiences for the 1st grade level student.
Our primary project goal is to help students understand:
1. The Solar System
2. Properties of math operations through word problems.
3. Math vocabulary in addition and subtraction.
+ Project Overview
Help 1st graders use place value
understanding and properties of operations
to add and subtract.
Use addition and subtraction within 20 to
solve word problems.
Apply properties of operations as
strategies to add and subtract.
Understand subtraction as an unknown-
addend problem.
+ Community
Where did we go?
Pea Ridge Primary School
Mrs. Henson’s 1st grade Class
“The mission of Pea Ridge Primary School is to provide a safe
and positive learning community, preparing and inspiring
students to use innovative thinking as world leaders of the 21st
century.”

+ Anchor Chart
At the begging of class we introduced our anchor chart.
+ Station #1 Skyla Guinn
This station had an
addition word problem
with blanks for the
numbers. Below the
word problem was four
squares with different
sets of numbers.
Students filled in the
numbers and solved the
problem.
+ Station #1 Skyla Guinn
+ Station #2
Maggie Reeves
This station had a
subtraction word
problem with blanks for
the numbers. Below the
word problem was four
squares with different
sets of numbers.
Students filled in the
numbers and solved the
problem.
+ Station #2
Maggie Reeves
+ Station #3 Jenny Castle
This station had an
addition game. Two
cups with an addition
sign between them
were glued to a poster
board. Students would
drop marbles down the
cups and write word
problems
corresponding to the
numbers.
+ Station #3 Jenny Castle
+ Station #4 Emily Downs
At this station students
used matts, cups, and
counters to solve
subtraction problems.
+ Station #4 Emily Downs
+ Teamwork
Physical Science
+ Project Results
It was good for us to experience this and “get our
feet wet” teaching. What we learned above all, is
that if you can keep your students engaged, then
they will want to learn.
Skills gained are: research, awareness,
observation, technology, collaborative learning,
oral and written communication, writing,
organization, and leadership skills.
We learned how to create activities and lesson
plans for both math and science concepts.
+ Conclusion
Our time at Pea Ridge Primary School was
incredibly successful. The kids had a great time with
the games and word problems. Moreover, they did a
good job with properties of math operations through
word problems and addition and subtraction
vocabulary.
Our physical science team learned how to take a
math activity and create an extension activity.
