Animals and plants are studied to understand life cycles and changes over time. Students match images of animals at different stages of life to see how they change and why. Different life cycles like trees, frogs, and humans are investigated and represented. Students also observe a local animal and track its behaviors. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate plant needs like light and temperature on growth. A "greenhouse in a glove" allows seeds to be tracked growing in different simulated environments.

Matching images of animals throughout their lives. How
do they change? Why might these changes occur?
Representing Life Cycles
What is a life cycle? How does it look for different living
things? Investigating and representing different life cycles (e.g. tree, frog, butterfly, human, potatoes) Creating staggered life cycle of a broad bean for display
Animal Observations
Using Animal Observation journals to observe an animal
native to the school area.
Plants: How Does a Leaf Breathe?
Creating visual explanations using plants in water
Plant Needs
How might a plant develop in different environments?
(Light Indoors, Dark Indoors, Light Outdoors, Dark Outdoors, A Cold Environment?) Setup experiment
Greenhouse in a Glove
Using clear plastic gloves to create visible greenhouses to
