Bringing Laughter and Learning TogetherIn the Hands of a Child

From the day we first began using and creating Project Packs we fell in love withthem. We knew that this type of hands-on learning experience was just the thingthat was needed to make boring unit studies not only educational but fun and

exciting too!

To help you get started with your Project Pack, we have included some of themost frequently asked questions we receive about our Project Packs.

What is a Project Pack?A Project Pack contains both the activities and the lesson plans or researchguide needed to complete the activities. Imagine your child not only learningabout the life cycle of a butterfly, but also creating a cocoon of his or her own.Students dont just read the story, Blueberry Salby Robert McCloskey- theyenjoy a blue day complete with a recipe for blueberry pancakes, making a

blue collage, and dont forget painting a blue picture!

Why is this a better way to learn? How does this help me?Student learning improves when lessons incorporate hands-on projects or crafts.Children learn by doing. Project Packs put learning into their hands! Thepossibilities are endless when your student begins a lapbook with a Project Packfrom In the Hands of a Child. There are no age or skill limits and any topic orsubject can be worked into a Project Pack.

When you purchase a Project Pack from In the Hands of a Child, all the work isdone for you-the parent/teacher, but not for the student. In addition, Project

Packs are easy to store, are an instant review tool, a scrapbook, and a ready-made portfolio of all your students studies.

How do I make a Project Pack?A Project Pack is simply a file folder refolded into a shutter-style book. Open afile folder flat, fold each side into the middle and crease the fold neatly. Thereyou have it!

What supplies do I need?You need file folders, paper in different colors and weights*, your studentsfavorite coloring tools, tape, glue, scissors, and a stapler.

*For a more colorful and appealing Project Pack, it is suggested you print someof the reproducible graphics on colorful, multi-purpose paper. We recommend24# weight or cardstock.

I have a Project Pack, NOW what?

We hope you are delighted with your new purchase, wed like to share a few tipswith you that weve found beneficial to other customers.Here is a brief introduction to our product layout.

Table of Contents Guide Core Concepts Graphics Folder Instructions Sample Pictures

Each unit starts with a Table of Contents and is followed by a Research Guide.

The Research Guide contains all of the lessons needed to complete the activitieslaid out in a chapter-like format. This format helps to build students listening,reading, and comprehension skills. Included in the Research Guide is aBibliography, which also makes a great resource for finding information for anyrabbit trails you may choose to follow during your study. Related books andwebsites are included in the Research Guide.

Next, you will find a list of core concepts to be covered during the study, each ofthe concepts is represented by a graphic organizer or template. Each graphicorganizer or template helps students take bite-sized pieces of informationlearned in the Research Guide and complete a hands-on activity to help retain

that information. If you implement graded assignments in your curriculum the listof concepts will be essential for you, the parent/teacher, to know what to test thestudent on. Under each concept you will find the folding instructions for each ofthe graphic organizers or templates. Each one has a corresponding activitynumber to make following along easy.

Reproducible graphics for the graphic organizers and templates follow. You maywant to make a copy of each graphic for each student completing the unit. Aninstruction sheet for folding file folders and photos of sample lapbooks areincluded in the back section of each Project Pack. If you and your students arevisual learners you will find the folder instructions and sample photos quitehelpful.

Project Packs from In the Hands of a Child make great stand-alone unit studiesor can easily be added as a supplement to an existing curriculum. When using asa stand-alone product we recommend completing 2 - 3 activities per session (30- 45 minutes). Start out by reading through 2 - 3 sections of the Research Guideand then complete the corresponding hands-on activities. The hands-onactivities correlate to each section in the Research Guide.

Vocabulary and Timeline activities do not have to be completed in one day.Vocabulary words can be learned throughout the entire study. We recommendthat your student learn a few new vocabulary words each day or learn them asthey are written in the Research Guide (all words in bold are vocabulary words).We also recommend Timeline activities be completed a little each day. Choosethe vocabulary words and time periods you are going to add to your vocabulary

books and timelines as you read them in the Research Guide.

If you are working with young children or a group of children, cut out all of thegraphics a day or two before beginning the lapbook and store them in a zip-topbag. It is also helpful to have all materials organized before beginning. All ofour early childhood Project Packs include a full supplies list on one of the veryfirst pages!

Your students completed Project Pack does not have to look like the photofeatured at the end of the Pack. The photo is simply a reference to help youunderstand the folds and the process of putting the file folder together. If you run

out of room or things do not fit, add another file folder or an extension! Allowchildren to take an active role in designing the layout of their project so that itbecomes personal for them. The personalizing of their projects aids in thereinforcement of the study.

Your students may choose to attach the various activities to their folders as eachone is completed or they may choose to wait until all activities are completed andthen attach them to the file folder. If you choose to do the latter, simply store theactivities in a zip-top bag, expandable file, or folder until you are ready toassemble them in a file folder.

Should you have any questions as you go about your study please do nothesitate to contact us, we are here to help you bring laughter and learningtogether in the Hands of Your Child!!

Adapting a Project Pack to Fit the Needs of Your Student

Adapting a Project or Research Pack is key to ensuring that you provide the bestlesson for your student. At first glance, some might just skip over an activitybecause they feel it is too easy or too difficult for their student. We want you touse all the activities we providethey are easily adaptable!

For example, if you have a PK-3 student the vocabulary activities might bedifficult for him or her to complete. Here are some tips to help you adapt theactivities that require your student to write:

1. Have your student dictate vocabulary words and their meanings as youwrite them.

2. Have your child draw a picture instead of writing.3. You write the word or sentence first so your student can see how it is

written (many of our Project Packs also include activities with dotted linesfor easy copy work).

4. Practice. Practice. Practice. In the car, on a walk, in the shopping cart!Practice saying the vocabulary words and what they mean. Before youknow it your preschooler will be telling others what those words mean!

5. Contact us. We would be happy to give you ideas for adapting specificunits to a grade level.

On the other hand, some of the activities may seem too easy for your student.Does your 5thgrade level student want to learn about butterflies, but the ProjectPack seems too easy? Try it anyway; just change things up a bit to suit yourstudents grade level and skill. Here are some tips to help you adapt theactivities to make them a little more difficult:

1. In addition to writing down vocabulary words and their meanings, ask yourstudent to use the word in a sentence; either verbally or written.

2. Give your student one hour (or reasonable time frame) to research thetopic on his or her own either online or at the library. Give your student aset of questions and see what he or she can find without your guidance.

3. Encourage your student to expand on the topic or choose a relatedsubject to learn about.

4. Take a look at some of our preschool unitsthere is a lot of clipart relatedto each topic included. Have an older student cut these out and write astory or play about the pictures.

5. Contact us. We would be happy to give you ideas for adapting specificunits to a grade level.

These are just few ways you can adapt a Project Pack to meet the needs of yourstudent. Let your student be the judge if something is too easy or toodifficultyou just might be surprised!

Teakettle Travels:

Learning How Heat Moves

Did you know that heat travels? Yes, itdoes! Heat travels from hot or warm

things to cool or cold things.

Heat travels in three different ways andyou can learn about all three just by

studying a teakettle!

What can a teakettle tell you about thethree ways that heat travels? Have an

adult place a teakettle on a hot stove and

find out!

Boiling water in a teakettle is an exampleof the three processes of heat transfer.

Can you feel the heat without actuallytouching the teakettle? Yes! The hot

teakettle gives off heat through aprocess called radiation.

How does the teakettle get hot? Heatfrom the stove flows directly from theburner to the kettle through a process

called conduction.

Hot water in the kettle rises from thebottom, is replaced by cooler water,

which is then heated and rises causingthe circular process called convection.

What is Heat

What is Temperature

Finding Heat

We use heateveryday to cookour food and warmour homes, butwhere do we find it?Close your eyes andlift your face to the

Sun. What do you feel? Heat! TheSun is the largest source of heat innature; it is a burning ball of fire thatprovides heat to the

Earth. It warms theair, water, and land.It is the mostimportant naturalsource of heat forthe Earth.

Other sources of heat are made byhumans such as stoves, grills,heaters, and campfires. Can you thinkof any others?

TemperatureTemperature is what tells us how hotor cold something is.

Measuring TemperatureFahrenheit Scale

A scientist named Gabriel DanielFahrenheit invented a thermometerthat uses a scale called the Fahrenheitscale. People in the United States

use this type of scale to tell thetemperature. The temperature that ismeasured on this scale is written asF, which means degreesFahrenheit.

Creating a Lapbook Base

Basic Lapbook Base

Open a file folder and lay it flat. Fold both right and left edges toward the center so they meet and close like a pair of

shutters. Crease firmly.

Base with Single or Double Extensions

Complete the basic lapbook base.

Open base and lay flat. Cut another folder in half or use a sheet of cardstock for the extension. Lay the extension in the center of folder at either the top or bottom. (You may add

two extensions if need be; one at the top and one at the bottom). Attach to base with clear packing tape.

Single Extension Double Extension

Double Folder Base

Make two base folders.

Open them and lay them side by side with outerflaps pointing straight up, not flat. Where the two flaps meet glue them together. Fold center flap to one side, fold both shutters in

and close folders like a book.
