1. |
GOLDFISH AND GUPPIES |
|
Students observe the structures and
behaviors of goldfish. They feed the
fish and enrich the environment in
which the fish live. They compare
the structures and behaviors of
the goldfish to those of other fish,
guppies. Students compare photos
of fish and read about fish. |
LS2a Observe and describe similarities
and differences in the appearance
and behavior of plants and
animals (e.g., stems, leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).
LS2b Stories sometimes give plants and
animals attributes they do not
really have.
LS2c Identify major structures of
common plants and Animals.
|
I&E4c Describe the relative position of
objects using one reference.
I&E4e Communicate observations
orally and through drawings.

2. |
LAND AND WATER SNAILS |
|
Students observe the structures
and behaviors of land snails.
They race the snails. Water snails
are compared to land snails.
Students work with a variety of
shells, discussing similarities and
differences in their size, shape, color,
and texture. Students match shell
pairs, make designs, and create patterns. They read about snails. |
LS2a Observe and describe similarities
and differences in the appearance
and behavior of plants and
animals (e.g., stems, leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).
LS2b Stories sometimes give plants and
animals attributes they do not

LS2c Identify major structures of
common plants and animals (e.g., stems, leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).
|
I&E4c Describe the relative position of
objects using one reference.
I&E4d Compare and sort common
objects by one physical
attribute (e.g., color,
shape, texture, size, weight)
I&E4e Communicate observations
orally and through drawings.

3. |
BIG AND LITTLE WORMS |
|
Students dig for red worms,
rinse them off, and look at their
structures. They study their
behavior. They compare the
red worms to night crawlers,
which are much larger. Students
compare photos and read about
worms. |
LS2a Observe and describe similarities
and differences in the appearance
and behavior of plants and
animals (e.g., stems, leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).
LS2c Identify major structures of
common plants and animals( e.g., stems, leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).
|
I&E4e Communicate observations
orally and through drawings. |
|
4. |
PILL BUGS AND SOW BUGS |
|
Students begin by observing
structures of the two kinds of
isopods. They learn to identify
which are pill bugs and which are
sow bugs. They may have isopod
races. Students make a terrarium
in which all the land animals live
together. Students compare photos
and read about isopods. They read
about and compare illustrations of
a variety of animals. |
