1. Child Profile ; Jamie is a Pre primary student who is 5. Jamie is a female.

   • Wondering Question; I wonder if the size of an object effects it's weight ? (Rephrased from Jamie's Original question; if it is more big does it mean it weighs more?
     • What Jamie Already Knows; PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
       • Some wood is heavier then others. Explained by showing me that the building block is more heavy then the wood cup holder.
       • "Leaves are light because they don't pull down the tree "
       • Size comparison. Jamie talks about size using words such as big, small, tall, heavy, light.
         • Vocabulary associated with weight; ie Big, small, heavy, light
       • People are different sizes. Some people are big and some like "me" are small
       • Egg's are heavier then feathers
       • Heavy means it is more then light and light means it is not as much as heavy
       • Things are different weight
       • Weight can be measured in grams " nana and I use grams in butter when I cook"
       • What Jamie wants to know now;
         • "Why is some wood more heavy then the other one ?"
           • Why do some trees have bark that falls off and others don't?
         • Does the size of an object make a difference to it's weight
           • If it is taller will it still float
         • When I swim in nana's pool I float, but the diver (swim toy) drops (sinks). Jamie articulated that she would like to know if all things float when put in water.
           • Why does the diver drop
         • Does a heavy thing always sink?
           • Why does something sink
