Life Cycle: Organisms

Saturday, September 27, 2014

 organism copy

We started our Organisms Unit early this week and it was a joy Mavi had a great time learning about the living organisms and the different forms of life. I like that we will only have a few activities here. Focus on the quality, making sure that the child truly understands the concept behind the activity.

The key concept of this unit is for the child to learn that there are other organisms besides human and animals. That these organisms thrive and reproduce for survival. The following are the activities that we performed for the unit:

LIVING AND NON-LIVING

Objectives: To be able to sort the living and the non-living objects.

Task:

  1. Describe the characteristics that makes an object a living organism.
  2. Distinguish objects that are non-living but have been created from living objects (wooden cabinet).
  3. What are the three important requirements of a living organism to thrive or grow?

Vocabulary: animal, living, non-living, organism

 

ANIMAL FAMILIES

Objective: Classification and sorting of objects, in order to group them into larger groups (Families)

Task:

  1. Discuss the families of the animals, what do you call the father, the mother and the baby and their group.
  2. Comparing the animal tracks. Those with round shape, hoofs or prints with toes.
  3. Classifying animals whether they live in land, water or sky.

Vocabulary: family, group, classification

ANIMAL HABITATS

Objective: Comparing where animals live.

Mid this year, we have conducted a study of the different habitats of animals around the world.  You can view our lesson here and here.

Next week, my son and I will work on the human body.  Still part of the Life Cycle theme… that evolves around organisms.

    I realized it was more easier to have lesson plans rather than doing it randomly :)
