This is my application of the "Tools of the Mind" book by Elena Bodrova & Deborah J. Leong. I have found it very helpful in teaching my kids. It's an early childhood education method giving children mental "tools" to learn throughout life. It is child-driven motivation based learning. Click on "Book Review" below to learn more.

Skunks
We want to know:
-where they live
-what they eat
-when they spray
-what they do and how active they are
-can they use their hands?
-how stinky is their smell
-why do they make holes to live in
-how do skunks use their paws to pick up stuff
We did:
-a smell test
-a coloring page with facts
-the kids were skunk detectives
-we wathced a video clip about skunks
-sang the skunk song
-said, "I 1 a skunk, I 2 a skunk, etc, up to I 8 a skunk. Ewww!"
We learned:
-the skunks ate snakes
-they spray when they feel threatened
-first they growl
