Students may recognize the importance of their senses, but they don't often focus on them individually. Students will experiment with sounds made by leaves, feeling different textures, observing different colors, and much more.
Students will use knowledge of adaptations to compare the structures and functions of plants. These likenesses are passed down between parent plants and their offspring
STUDENT ACTIVITY – 4th -- TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will use knowledge of adaptations to compare the structures and functions of plants. These likenesses are passed down between parent plants and their offspring.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities. .
In this lesson students will explore the physical characteristics of insects and how they camouflage themselves to avoid being eaten by predators.
Students will explore the outdoor classroom in pairs looking for evidence of animal life and imagining what types of animals might live in and around the area.
What do living things need to survive? Students will explore in their outdoor setting for animals in their habitat and generate a list of things found in the environment that support the life of the animals observed. In groups, students will identify the basic needs through a sticky note activity and then research these basic needs for the animals that appear in the fiction book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? As a culminating activity, students will tap their creativity and use humor to write and publish a silly science-based storybook using Book Creator (or other publishing tool) about the basic needs and thneeds (things that we might think we need, but don’t really need) of these animals.
Students will explore the outdoor classroom in pairs looking for evidence of animal life and imagining what types of animals might live in, and survive in, the outdoor classroom area.
Students will explore the biome in which they live while comparing it to other major biomes around the world.Standard(s): 5.L.2.1Compare the characteristics of several common ecosystems
STUDENT ACTIVITY - 5th Grade: This is a distance-learning lesson that students can complete at home. The student will explore the biome in which they live while comparing it to other major biomes around the world.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.
Students will compare different plant traits and determine how each structure helps that species of plant grow and reproduce in the schoolyard habitat. After which, students can observe each plant for acquired traits.
Working in teams of four, students act as botanists and use non-fiction on-line text to conduct Self Organized Learning System (SOLE) research to uncover the needs and life cycle of a plant for the school garden.
Students dissect fruits to investigate and estimate the number of seeds in each type of fruit. They germinate and plant a seed in the school garden and in the classroom to make observations of the growing plant over time, tracking and recording each stage of the plant life cycle. Students taste the flowers, seeds, and fruit of the new plants when the plant has reached the flower stage of the life cycle.
STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 2nd -- TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will observe, compare different objects, and identify the properties of specific materials.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.
STUDENT ACTIVITY - 4th - NCThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.The student will observe, compare different objects, and be able to identify the properties of specific materials.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.
Students will observe, compare different objects, and be able to identify the properties of specific materials.
Using different texts students learn many ways to communicate with sound. With this lesson, students will learn also how to communicate with sound over a distance.
Students will understand that wind and water can change the shape of the land. And that because there is always more than one possible solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designs.
Students will create mixtures using objects they find in the garden. Also, they need to be able to write a conclusion based on observations.
Students will observe and describe the properties of soil for texture, size, color and ability to support life.
Students will use the decomposition of a compost pile to visualize fractions as parts of a whole.
