LINK TO COME.
STOPMOTION Animation
Checkout materials for greenscreen, padcasting, cameras and other tools to create a STOP Motion Annimation about plants and animals habitats. Have studetns create stories that explain their learning.
Custom Challenges
Checkout materials for an EDP or STEM Challenge. DTLS can support you with the creation of your custom STEM challenge that relates to this standard. That way you provide the time constraints and student needs to make the lesson fit your classroom.
Other Resources
Field Trip Ideas
Field Trip: Plan a trip to a local nursery, botanical garden, forest, farm, or nature preserve. Take photos or provide art materials so students can create pictures of their favorite plants. Back in class, display these on a bulletin board. Use them for practice in labeling plant parts and comparing plants from different areas.
Field trip to a local zoo or wildlife center (A Zoo Life in Pinetops). Take photos or provide art materials so students can create pictures of their favorite animals. Back in class, display these on a bulletin board. Use them to recall what each animal needed to live. What was the same? What was different?
