I love that you shared this great lesson! I can't wait to incorporate it this week with our resources unit. The activity is very eye-opening and will engage them right away. I love the graphing connection too!

Thank you so much for sharing! I did an activity similar to this when I was in school targeting adaptations and survival. This is a wonderful way to use it that I wouldn't have thought about. :) I can't wait to do it with my babies!

Really looking forward to using this with my 4th graders in the next week or two. You mention in the power point slides about coloring tobacco leaves and placing the leaves in barrels. Are these sheets that you created and can share? Thanks :)

Clear and with a simple structure that would work well for younger students -- and some older ones, too, as another review stated.

I know this is meant for K-2, but I actually plan to use it with my secondary special education students. At this age, they tend to not notice as many things because they are distracted by the issues of being teenagers. This activity will help them focus on the details. Thanks!

I did a research project on eagles when I was in 5th grade; this brings back great memories that I hope to share with my students this year.

We get a quick overview of ecosystems at the beginning of the year; this should really help with new vocabulary and will also serve as a good review when we hit ecosystems more in depth later in the year.

Hi! I wondered if you had anything materials available that would have students practice following written directions and using/manipulating basic scientific equipment such as a metric ruler, beaker, balance scale, etc. I'm trying to prepare my students for a manipulative part of our state science test that they will take in May. Although I give them a variety of hands on experiences throughout the week regarding our topic of study, I'm looking for something where they could practice measurement each week.

Hmm....I can put something together for this in the fall. If you look at my Feather Model center students will compare and measure a real feather vs. a paper one. Is that the type of activity you are looking for?

pvgirl re: The Box Method for Multiplication
Thank you for all of your materials online. I wanted to make you aware that the multiplication box has an error in the last box (20 should be multiplied by 5--not 4) so the answer is 360.
I love all of the science materials and look forward to using some of the ideas this school year. Thanks!
