Worm Lesson Plan - Fun Research Activity, Science for Kids - 1 views

    • Maria Watson
       
      The Nature of Science: Use a scientific notebook to record predictions, questions and observations about data with pictures, numbers or in words. STANDARD: SCI.2.3.1 2010 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. ADAPTATION:Students who are squimish, can view tubefex worms or mealworms images.   EXTENSION: Students can can continue to observe the larvae until they have evolved into their adult form.  Students can keep a Mealworm or Tubefex worms.

      STANDARDS: SCI.2.3.1 2010 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. ADAPTATIONS: Since there are several activities, the teacher can assign projects that are based on cognition and multiple intelligence's'. EXTENSION:  Teacher can buy plant seeds from the store and students can observe the cycle of the plant.

The Mystery of the Sponge - 1 views

    • Andrew Todd
       
      Standard: 2.NS.1.1- Observe, describe and measure ways in which the properties of a sample of water (including volume) change or stay the same as the water is heated and cooled and then transformed into different states. Extensions: Students can graph the weight of the sponge over time on a line graph. Students can discuss their predicitions and/or inferences (depending on how familiar they are with the water cycle) as a class. This activity is a good segwey into concepts such as the water cycle, evaporation, and states of matter. Adaptations: ELL students benefit from the whole class discussion stemming from the single experiement performed at the front of the class. Students gain a better idea of what is going on as they listen to each others' predictions and inferences as to where the water is going if it is leaving the sponge.

Lesson Plans: Frogs and Toads Are Different (But Still Friends) (Elementary, Science) - 0 views

  • Frogs and Toads Are Different (But Still Friends)
    • Mary Miller
       
      2.3.2 Compare and contrast details of body plans and structures within the life cycles of plants and animals. 2.NS.2 Conduct investigations that may happen over time as a class, in small groups, or independently. This activity could be adapted in many ways to suit your goals and time constraints, but the reason I chose it is because it involves using technology, research, and includes quality literature.

Jack and the Beanstalk - Plant a Bean and Watch it Grow - 0 views

    • Andrew Todd
       
      K.NS.3 - Observe living organisms, compare and contrast their characteristics, and ask questions about them
    • Andrew Todd
       
      1.NS.3 - Describe objects in terms of the materials that compose them and in terms of their physical properties
    • Andrew Todd
       
      2.NS.3 - Observe, ask questions about and describe how organisms change their forms and behaviors during their life cycles

      3.NS.3 - Observe, describe and ask questions about plant growth and development
    • Andrew Todd
       
      Adaptation - This project could be adapted to fit kindergarten through third grade classes as it deals with a central theme throughout the grade levels, which is observation of a living organism with greater depth progressing through the years.

      Extension: Older students could use this opportunity to practice making lab reports for fourth grade. Students could be introduced to the steps of the scientific process. This would incorporate writing as well as the use of science and technology if any part of the report is completed on the computer.
  •  
    Students will plant seeds, watch them grow, measure them with nonstandard objects. In addition, students will describe the bean's growth in a journal and record the growth on a calendar.
