Description
A farm to table science unit for preschool through 1st grade: a nonfiction read aloud, a corn life cycle, popping steps in order and a popcorn five senses page.
Children practice letter Cc, beginning sounds, ten frames and story problems with popcorn pictures, then finish with the Popcorn Scientist award.
Most pages are no prep: just print and go. Pop a bowl of popcorn for the five senses page (check allergies first).

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
The same corn words come back in the read aloud, the phonics pages, the math pages and the writing, so children really learn them.
Pages go from simple to more challenging, so you can use one unit from preschool to 1st grade.
A real popcorn day turns the science pages into something children can see, hear, smell and taste.
