Core Competency Questions:
- How can I design a way to show my understanding of how living things survive?
- How can I reflect on my learning of local plants and animals?
- How can I use art to communicate my ideas and understandings?
The Context:
We explored how living things survive. Our first step was identifying the differences between living and nonliving things and investigating what was living in our local environment. We discovered a variety of different plants in our community and what they need to live in our changing temperate weather. Based on questions generated by the grade ones, we explored various animals that live in our neighbourhood. Looking at physical features and behavioural adaptations, students recognized how these animals are able to survive.
