Organisms: Grades K-4
This SciGuide is a resource that I would highly recommend to teachers that are teaching "Life Science" to young learners. It has an extensive collection of lesson plans, vignettes, video clips, student samples and much, much more. The components in this SciGuide are all about the systems and interdependence of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) things within their environment. There are three over-arching themes included in this SciGuide which are community, ecosystems and environment.
This SciGuide offers links to resources that include the characteristics, diversity, adaptations, regulation, and life cycles of organisms.
It also offers a wealth of information about food chains/webs (producers, consumers, decomposers) and how organisms change their environment and how populations adapt in an ecosystem.
The SciGuide also provides resources about organisms’ needs, environment resources and dangers in particular biomes and habitats.
If you're looking for life science materials that are engaging and age appropriate for young learners, then you don't need to look any further as this SciGuide provides access to all of this great information for your science learning needs.
