      1.3.4 "Describe how animals' habitats, including plants, meet their needs for food, water, shelter and an environment in which they can live."
    • Mary Jo Mack

      Extension: This is a great way to open up conversation between the students and increase communication skills as they work together to determine what they need in their habitat in order for their living organisms to survive. This could also be a fun language arts cross-curricular activity- students could answer the question "What would your shoebox habitat look like?"
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    First graders love to create stories. Their especially imaginative brains are always coming up with plots and characters for even the simplest of things. This knack for creative story building is something that can help your child in any subject. In first grade, part of your child's science unit will be learning about the characteristics of different habitats. He'll discuss geography, learn about different kinds of environments, and talk about what kinds of animals live where. By creating a shoebox habitat with your child, you will expand on what he is learning in school and allow him to put those budding creative instincts to good use!

      Have students describe the create their own fossil. Have students who create their fossil to provide a story about they fossil. If students struggle with writing have them present something orally to give them another option if they struggle in their writing.

      I have a fossilized imprint of one of my son's hands that he made in school. It makes a nice keepsake while also teaching about fossils.
  • Brandon Appleton on 14 Feb 12
     
    Great activity to engage students in fossils. Students can create fossils and create a story to help demonstrate how fossils are good pieces of evidence that explain what happened in the past.

      6.4.2. "Construct a simple device that uses potential or kinetic energy to perform work"
    • Mary Jo Mack
      Mary Jo Mack on 18 Feb 12
       
      This is a great activity that takes this standard to a whole new level- using the body to make a model of a machine.  Once the students have completed the activity, I would challenge them to think of what we use in our every day life that is made out of machines like the "marshmallow-smashing machine." Sixth grade students will love coming up with silly noises and motions- awesome learning tool/visual for kinesthetic students!
  • Mary Jo Mack on 17 Feb 12
     
    Children are formed into groups to 'invent' a pretend machine that smashes marshmallows. Each child plays the role of a cog or part of the machine to move the marshmallow along. Children then read the story Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, a machine that digs its way to a happy ending, and recognize how technological devices affect our lives.

      Even though this activity is mainly for 3rd and 4th grades it can be changed to work with every grade level K-6. For older grades you could change the activity to include a wider variety of shapes/concepts. For younger students you could use basic shapes and have them create a picture with them without writing the words. This activity could be linked to writing. Students could create a picture with their shapes and then write a story about their picture. You would be connecting langauge arts with math. For ELLs put them with a native English speaker and have the ELL make the picture but have the native English speaker write the words or story for the picture.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    Students create pictures using geometric shapes, they then will write down the shapes that they used. This puts puts math together with art.
  • thennessy on 03 Feb 12
     
    CCS:3.G.1 Great for learning the name of shapes. You can also incorporae following directions if you give tem steps to follow in making their creatures. You can also allow the stdents to be the leader in giving out directions to make the creatures.

      Text Types and Purposes6-8.WS.1Write arguments to focus on discipline-specific content. a. Introduce claim(s) about a topic or issue, acknowledge anddistinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims,and organize the reasons and evidence logically. b. Support claim(s) with logical reasoning and relevant,accurate data and evidence that demonstrate anunderstanding of the topic or text, using credible sources. c. Use words, phrases, and clauses to create cohesion andclarify the relationships among claim(s), counterclaims,reasons, and evidence. d. Establish and maintain a formal style. e. Provide a concluding statement or section that follows fromand supports the argument presented. Differentiation: For gifted students, have them create a "moon finder" that will show the moon for any given phase and time.  Students can make this in a circle on a paper plate or on black construction paper.  Other students can use these "moon finders" to help them determine if the moon is depicted accurately or not.
  • Liz Dilts on 15 Feb 12
     
    In this activity students have to use their knowledge of the phases of the moon to analyze children's books and their depictions of the moon.  Using the list of  books, students are to review the depiction of the moon and determine if it is accurate or inaccurate.  Then, students are to look at books like "Goodnight Moon" and analyze a story where the moon is depicted accurately.

    4.4.1:  Investigate transportation systems and devices that operate on or in land, water, air, and space and recognize the forces (lift, drag, thrust, and gravity) that affect their motion.  Students will study the monorail to determine how it operates, what generates the power, and what are the effects to our environment.

      you can adapt this lesson for different levels by chaniging the amount of salary depending on level....Ex: 1 cent starting with lower levels and $100 for students at higher levels.

      you could extend this activity for KG or 1st grade by simplifying the worksheets and the senerios to an easier level. This would be a great way to introduce money and show real world representations.

    Great use of combining reading and math, focusing on addition up to 10 or any other number you are working on.

      Have students take home feeders and hang them outside homes. Then have them make predictions about activity level and write down observations every evening for a week. Hang a feeder outside of the school and compare results.

    Make a Hummingbird feeder: A little complicated, so maybe get a couple of parent volunteers to help with this project. Make a literary connection by reading a story about hummingbirds, then discuss how they fit in our ecosystem.

      A lot of ways you could adapt this for ELL learners or Special needs 1st grade
    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 17 Feb 12
       
      Adaptions: You can adapt this activity for ELL and special needs by doing an into to the bufferfly lifecycle, you can include books, do drawings charting the life cycle. While you are doing this you can have the students make a vocabulary journal identifying vocabulary used in the butterfly life cycle. Extensions: I think ALL grades would love this activity, you would want to add things to the activity depending on the grade level. For example, for 2nd graders you can have them journal and write stories about their butterflies, 3rd grade you can have them define different types of butterfies and then see which type they have from their habitats, 4th graders can identify different locations you may find different types of butterflies, and for kindergarten you can identify differences between butterflies and moths....etc!

    1.3.4 Describe how animals' habitats, including plants, meet their needs for food, water, shelter and an environment in which they can live. 1.3.5 Observe and describe ways in which animals and plants depend on one another for survival. 1.3.2 Observe organisms closely over a period of time in different habitats such as terrariums, aquariums, lawns and trees. Draw and write about observations. 1.4.3 Construct a simple shelter for an animal with natural and human-made materials.

      To connect this activity to writing, have children make up stories that go along with the fossils they create. They can write as if they found the fossil or write about the place and time the fossil is from.

      Fossils are also an Earth Science topic. See standard 3.2.4 for example.

    After exploring fossils (what they are and what we learn from them) have children use this project to create their own fossil.
