2.4 The student will investigate and understand that plants and animals
undergo a series of orderly changes as they mature and grow. Key concepts
include
a) animal life cycles; and
b) plant life cycles.
2.5 The student will investigate and understand that living things are part
of a system. Key concepts include
a) living organisms are interdependent with their living and
nonliving surroundings;
b) an animals habitat includes adequate food, water, shelter or
cover, and space;
c) habitats change over time due to many influences; and
d) fossils provide information about living systems that were on
Earth years ago.
Students will learn about animal life cycles, plant life
cycles, organisms, habitats and fossils. They will use the
SMART notebook to test their knowledge of the
standards theyve learned. Students will be divided into
two teams. A board is created with 25 question in 5
different categories, each worth between 100- 500
points. As a team, students will be able to choose a
category. From that category, students will be asked a
question. Again, the question is worth a certain amount
of points. The team will work as a whole to answer the
question given. If the question can not be answered
within the minute, the question will be turned over to
the other team. The objective of the game is to answer
the most questions correctly, and earn the most points.
The team with the most points after all the questions are
answered, wins the game. The higher the points, the
harder the questions. If no one can answer the question,
it will be saved until the end where the class will work
as a whole to answer the question using notes and
textbooks.
