During my dissertation work, I used a age appropriate mock crime scene to help my kinder students investigate some fairy tale crimes (Who stole the Little Red Hen’s loaf of bread), and am looking for other immersive experiences outside of mock crime scenes and escape rooms. Any other suggestions?

My new school is looking for ways that related arts (music, art, and PE) can integrate math into their lessons easily. Any ideas or research that you’ve found that helps this work? We are doing this Kinder through 5th grade.

Each September, at the end of our unit on the five senses, my team has “Apple Day” where we use apples to help investigate our five senses. I love science and STEM, so I’d like to do something in those areas. I usually have students investigate if apples sink or float, but I’d like to change things up this year. Any ideas?
