-
Modification to project required to meet standard. *** Can be modified to include discussion of recycling***
-
-
2.3.1: Observe closely over a period of time and then record in pictures and words the changes in plants and animals throughout their life cycles - including details of their body plan, structure and timing of growth, reproduction, and death. Modification to activity: Students will create a journal to log all data from start to finish. Building the terrarium will occur at the beginning of the project, and notes will be kept as the plants grow. ELL: Easily explained through modeling and pictures Higher Ability: Students could be class photographers and be responsible for uploading photos and printing them for the journals.

This project would also be excellent for creating a sense of community in the classroom as everyone would be working together toward a common goal (acceptance of their project by NASA_. ELL differentiation: I would probably find a different project to accommodate ELL's as this project is very intense, and requires a strong command of language (in order to follow instructions.) It is possible to create a book of picture instructions for the project or give them a smaller, yet still important role in the class for this particular assignment.

Make a Fossil From Glue! | Education.com - 1 views
-
-
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.
Explore Blood Science! - 1 views
-
-
Students who finish early could try drawing the structures of blood. If the teacher can obtain the materials, looking through a microscope at real slides of blood and draw that for a further extension.
-
-
This activity lets students create a simple and safe model of human blood. It provides a way to make something microscopic easier for children to understand.
Where Do Butterflies Come From? - 1 views
-
-
I just loved this craft activity. It would be the perfect activity to do after you talked about the life cycle of a butterfly. This gives the kids who need more hands on activity the ability to explain what happens to a butterfly. After they make it have the students talk about the cycle in their own words.

Alter the number of pictures that a student needs to collect if they struggle. Define rolls so that students who need help are in a role they can be successful to help the group.
-
-
Fun activity that incorporates technology and has students working in teams to finish activity. Students will be able to accurately be able to compare and contrast animals and plants within the school. Allowing students to use their technology for this activity will excite them.

4.3.3 Design investigations to explore how organisms meet some of their needs by responding to stimuli from their environments.4.3.4 Describe a way that a given plant or animal might adapt to a change arising from a human or non-human impact on its environment. Differentiation: Have ELL students record their biome's progress and changes using a picture graph.
-
-
In this activity, students will make a mini biome in the bottom of a one liter bottle. Students will be able to plant a seed and give it certain nutrients to watch it grow, adapt, and change to its environment.
-
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.

3.3.1 Identify the common structures of a plant including its roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. Describe their functions.3.3.2 Investigate plant growth over time, take measurements in SI units, record the data and display the data in graphs. Examine factors that might influence plant growth. Differentiation: Have gifted and special needs students come up with a creative way to display their plant's structures. This can be oral, artistic, acted out, etc...

-
Using household items such as a shoebox, plastic wrap, potting soil, and an old sock, students can grow their own plants! Students will tae care of their plants and chart the plant's progress and changes. They will also analyze their plant's structures and compare their common structures with other plants while discussing their purpose.

-
Observe, describe and ask questions about how changes in one part of an ecosystem create changes in other parts of the ecosystem 5.3.1 -
You might also want to add a "life science" tag to this activity to make it easier for your colleagues to find and use.
-
-
Students take surveys of different areas to find the best habitat for dandelions. They will think and hypothesize all while being engaged by being outdoors.

Helps students understand the difference in nerves and what they feel or sense. Can be used any grade level depending on what standards you look at.
Build a Wormery - 1 views

-
When having students record their observations prepare two rubrics that have different requirements for students. One that challenges students in their writing and another that challenges them to draw and write less about their observations
-
-
Easy experiment to do in class that requires some good record keeping and simple observation of what the worms will do. Easy pets to have in the room.

state standard: 2.3.1 This activity is a great activity for showing the way and which water is transported in living things. A bit of enrichment in this activity could be to talk about the nutritional aspects of these vegetables that grow from the land.

I have changed this to a Kindergarten activity

Adaptions: you can adapt this lesson by having ELL and special need students find the flowers and sketch them for their group, then they can assist the group in identifying the habitat and descriptions. (This will help ELL students enhance their vocabulary) Extensions: You can extend this activiy by having students create a venn diagram and identify similarities and differences. Older grades can also extend the activity by researching their plants/flowers more (locations it is found, type of flower, how effecte environment...etc) and creating a poster board that they will present in the class.

-
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.
Make a Garden View Box | Education.com - 1 views
-
-
Students can plant all different types of plants. This project could be used for older students who are learning more details about plants or who are trying to do experiments on what makes plants grow best. ELL and special needs students could help by planting the seeds in the box when first constructing the garden. Advanced students could draw and label the parts of the plants that were planted.
-
-
Students make a garden view box where they can see plants grow below and above the surface of the soil.

Students will help create a fake classroom garden out of craft materials to help them understand the design of a plant. They will have to understand the different parts a plant and how to put the parts together to create a plant. Post-It (diigo would not let me place a post-it on this pdf page): Students can work in pairs to construct their plants (high ability with a low ability student). Advanced students could put labels on thier plants' parts. Students in higher grades could construct certain species of plants and descibe what makes their plant unique.
