ZOOM . activities . sci . Biome in a Baggie | PBS Kids - 2 views

  •  
    state standard: 1.3.2 Great way to keep kids interested over a long period of time. The kids are excited to see what their biome is doing/ how things are frowing. You can explain that everything the plant needs to grow is in the biome. A enrichment idea off this activity would be to try and simulate the different conditions in each biome to an enviornment that is in our world (desert vs rainforest) and see how that affects each biome.

    state standard: 2.1.6 This game is another way to make connections with something that they have done and probably enjoy doing.

    state standard: 1.1.2 Very simple and hands on activity for the first graders. The good thing about this activity is that you can use pictures with all the words. Not all first graders are able to read all the words, having pictures can be helpful for the low ability students as well as the ESL students.

    state standard: 2.1.7 Doesn't the title of the activity say it all, dancing raisens. Just telling the 2nd graders about what you are planning on doing is going to grab their attention. It is also exciting for them to do activities with things that they know.

Clean Pennies with Vinegar - Science Bob - 1 views

  •  
    At a young age, something that they can visibly see will catch their eye. It is a simple activity that has a real world application. I would use this less as a standard teaching opportunity and more for teaching the scientific process because of the simplicity of the experiment.
