In classrooms I have been at I have seen teachers teach about life cycles starting with a seed and then moving on to other life cycles of animals and so on. Sensory poems or shape poems can be a fun and interesting lesson to connect. Having students make observations on what they see can be a great activity to do.

I remember in college taking a class that we played a game about survival of the fittest. This game would be fun to play with kids.

This is a good resource to identify the pros of using sunglasses as well as using recycled materials to make your own. This is a fun and interactive activity that allows students to learn about the history of sunglasses as well as recycling. I really like the step by step procedures provided. This is a fun way to get students involved in their learning.

This is an interesting resource. It is a fun and interactive way to dissect a fish. This can be done when learning about other living animals or even when learning about the human body. Students can compare their stomach to a fish. This is engaging and will have the students involved in their learning process. Students can compare fish to other fish and compare diets as well as living environments.

What Happens to Animals during Hurricanes?

This is a good resource to use when talking about storms. Many times students do have questions on what happens to the people and animals during a storm.

This resource can be connected to weather, people, and animals. There are also resources available.
