For the next 10 weeks our 1st grade students will be studying a unit called; Animal and Plant Defenses. Students will immerse themselves in a real world problem and work to find a solution to that problem.
For the next 10 weeks our 1st grade students will be studying a unit called; Animal and Plant Defenses. Students will immerse themselves in a real world problem and work to find a solution to that problem.
Students take on the role of scientists advising an aquarium director by helping answer young visitors’ questions about Spruce the Sea Turtle, who will soon be released back into the ocean. They investigate how Spruce can survive in the ocean, particularly since sharks live in the area. They then investigate a question about Spruce’s offspring: How can Spruce the Sea Turtle’s offspring survive where there are sharks? This context, which serves as the anchor phenomenon for the unit, provides concrete examples and motivation for students to discover the core ideas of the unit about how organisms and their offspring survive, particularly how they avoid being eaten. Students gather evidence through careful observations of photographs and videos of real organisms and by reading science texts. Students create multiple models throughout the unit to explain their ideas about how defenses function. They apply their knowledge to two other challenges along the way—first by making a model that shows a way to defend the aquarium’s animal food supply from being eaten by wildlife, and then by making a model of a sea creature’s defense against being eaten. By the end of the unit, students will be able to use ideas of structure and function to explain how a wide variety of animals and plants and their offspring defend themselves from being eaten.
