How do organisms change as they go through their life cycle? In what ways are organisms of the same kind different from each other? How does this help them reproduce and survive? ow is matter transformed, and energy transferred/transformed in living systems? What do plants need to grow? How do we use plants in our daily lives? Plans: -A source of energy is needed for all organisms to stay alive and grow. Both plants and animals need to take in water, and animals need to take in food. Plants need light. -Animals have various ways of obtaining food and water. Nearly all animals drink water or eat foods that contain water. -Most plants have roots to get water and leaves to gather sunlight. -A habitat supports the growth of many different plants and animals by meeting their basic needs of food, water, and shelter. Observe a variety of plants and animals (in natural settings or using digital/video) and identify the basic needs that are common to plants or animals of the same group. Conduct a variety of experiments to determine how plants obtain water and light. Determine which conditions can affect the way plants obtain their energy needs Describe how plants and animals interact with each other and their environment in a variety of settings by observing interactions in natural settings or through digital/video means. Observe a complete life cycle of an organism in the classroom by recognizing, recording and communicating changes observed in the organism over time. Use records from their own observations to discriminate between the changes that are due to growth (size, weight, etc.) and which are due to development (structural changes) B.1-Describe the requirements for the care of plants and animals related to meeting their energy needs.

How do we use observable characteristics of Earth materials to identify different parts of the Earth System? What is Earth made of? How can we help the Earth? -Rocks can be broken down to make soil. -Earth materials in nature include rocks, minerals, soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere. Attributes of rocks and minerals assist in their identification. -Soils are made of many living and nonliving substances. The attributes and properties of soil (e.g., moisture, kind and size of particles, living/organic elements, etc.) vary depending on location. -There are many sources and uses of water. -The origin of everyday manufactured products such as paper and cans can be traced back to natural resources. Participate in GLOBE's The Scoop on Soils found at: EG_cloud&lang=en&nav=1 Develop systematic procedures for sampling and analyzing soils from across the community.

7 Duration: February/Week 25 - April/Week 34 Theme/Topic Addressed: Weather and the Sky Essential Question(s) Content Skills Assessment(s) Standards How do changes in one part of an Earth system affect other parts of the system? What are the characteristics of weather and seasons? Why are there different types of clouds? What are the characteristics of the night sky? How are shadows created? -Objects in the sky have patterns of movement. The Sun and Moon appear to move across the sky on a daily basis. The shadows of an object on Earth change over the course of a day, indicating the changing position of the Sun during the day. -Weather changes that occur from day to day and across the seasons can be measured and documented using basic instruments such as a thermometer, wind vane, anemometer, and rain gauge. -When light strikes substances and objects through which it cannot pass, shadows result. -The Sun is a star that can only be seen during the day. The Moon is not a star and can be seen sometimes at night and sometimes during the day. The Moon appears to have different shapes on different days. -Current weather conditions include air movement, clouds, and precipitation. Weather conditions affect our daily lives. Recognize characteristics of different weather and season elements Observe and describe different clouds Create shadows Recognize the elements of the night sky Explore shadows using different light sources, different objects, and transparent, translucent and opaque objects. Participate in GLOBE's Do you know that Clouds Have Names? found at: templ.cgi? EG_cloud&lang=en&nav=1 Play the Wild Weather Adventure game.
