4th grade students will watch a video to learn about the differences between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

Hello Friends, today we will learn about different types of reproduction. There are two types of reproduction and that is what we are going to focus on today and those two reproductions are sexual and asexual. While we are watching this video I want everyone to stay on the look out for what the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction are.

After we are all done watching this video we are then going to do some research about asexual and sexual reproduction in another country of your choice.

Explore: Where in Korea were dinosaur fossils found? 

# data[].attributes.body
As a class, we will go through this informational page of dinosaur fossils found in Korea. Then, we will have a class discussion on what a fossil is and what can become a fossil.

Today class we will be talking about dinosaur fossils in Korea. As you can see from this website there were many dinosaurs fossils found all over Korea. Let's look at some of them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Cretaceous terrestrial (non-marine) sedimentary layers on the Korean Peninsula contain abundant dinosaur fossils, including footprints and egg and bone fossils. In 1972, the first dinosaur fossil found in the Korean Peninsula was an egg fossil from the seaside of Hadong-gun in Gyeongsangnam-do. After that, in 1982, a dinosaur bone was found in Euiseong-gun in Gyeongsangbukdo. Since 1996, many dinosaur footprints and egg and bone fossils have been found in Cretaceous sedimentary layers in Jeollanamdo and Gyeongsangnam-do.

Dinosaur footprint fossil sites are found in the 27 Cretaceous terrestrial sedimentary layers in the southern region of the Korean Peninsula; the Cretaceous

terrestrial sedimentary layers in Haenamgun, Hwasun-gun, and Yeosu-si within Jeollanam-do, and Goseong-gun within Gyeongsangnam-do, are representative sites.
Ornithopod (bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur) footprints are very abundant in the Korean Peninsula, and representative theropod (bipedal, lizard-hip dinosaur) footprints have been found in Hwasun-gun within the Neungju Basin. Abundant sauropod (fourlegged, herbivorous dinosaur) footprints are reported from the Jindong sedimentary layer in the southeastern region of the Korean Peninsula and the diverse size, shape, and trackway of sauropod footprints indicate that diverse sauropods lived in the Korean Peninsula. The pterosaur, a flying dinosaur, found in Uhangri, Hanam-gun was internationally approved as a new species named Haenamichnus uhangriensis.

The largest number and the widest trackway of pterosaur footprints (443 and 7.3 m, respectively), are found in the Uhangri area. In this area the footprints of pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and birds occur together in the same sedimentary layer, which is very rare in the world. For the first time in Korea dinosaur bone fossils which are well preserved enough to identify the species of dinosaurs, were found in the sedimentary layer in Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do; the bone fossil was identified as a new species and named as Pukungosaurus millenniumi. It was registered as the 931st dinosaur genus in the world inventory of dinosaurs.

During the Cretaceous many lakes that could be used as a source of drinking water for dinosaur, existed in the southern region of the Korean Peninsula. Around the lakes, gymnosperms, including conifers and ferns, were abundant, providing enough food to dinosaurs. Vertebrates including tortoises, crocodiles, early mammals and fish and invertebrates including mollusks, arthropods and lugworms were also abundant in and around lakes. These lake environments made the Korean Peninsula a good habitat for dinosaurs during the Cretaceous. As a result, dinosaurs thrived on the Korean Peninsula during the late Cretaceous when

dinosaurs were on the decline in other parts of the world. The Korean Peninsula was one of the last sanctuaries for dinosaurs in the world.

4th grade students will participate in a traditional Korean candy and game called Dalgona. For this game, one is to poke out the shape made onto the harden melted sugar without breaking it. The Dalgona candies will be premade for the students, and they will use toothpicks to "dig up" their fossils.

Now that we have learned a lot about fossils and fossilization we will now do a fun activity called Dalgona. This is a traditional Korean candy and game that is made from melted sugar and a little bit of baking soda. It is then pressed flat and a shape outline is added to the center. Once it is cooled, you begin to poke the shape out with a needle or a toothpick, but you have to do so without breaking it. For this activity, we will be "digging up fossils" from our candy the same way. There will be different shapes on the Dalgona candies where you have to poke them out to reveal your fossil.

# data[].attributes.body
4th grade students, on their own, will describe in their own words what a fossil is and how it can be found.

Now class, we have learned a lot about fossils through our video, informative website, our fill in the blank, and our fun activity. Now, it is your turn to tell me what a fossil is and how they can be found.

They will then label the correct organs with its correlating system and color them the same color. For example, they will color all the organs in the digestive system blue. Lastly, the students will list 2-3 foods from the Native American diet we researched earlier that benefits/is good for that specific body system.

# data[].attributes.body
2nd grade students will use this instruction sheet and my video as a guide in creating their own papel picado.

Papel picado is a Mexican art using some form of paper, usually tissue paper, to create a beautiful design. The tissue paper is colorful and can be folded and cut into many designs. For our activity we will be using paper, scissors, tape and yarn for string to create a class line of our designs. Each student will be instructed on how to fold the paper and where to start cutting, this activity will allow for creativity and having fun picking out color and creating their own designs.

After watching the video, students will be given the canicas worksheet. They will go through each stage question and decide if that stage of the game was balanced or unbalanced. If unbalanced, they will insert the type of force that goes with that stage. There will be gravity, force, and friction that they will need to include.

# data[].attributes.body
The class will get in a group of 2 or 3 and will learn how to play the game. They can also use this game to help them answer the worksheet questions as they continue to fill it out while being hands on.
~Alright students, you will now get into a group of 2 or 3 people so you all can learn the game. You are also welcome to take your worksheet with you so by playing the game it will help you see face to face deciding if it is unbalanced or not. And also deciding what type of force each is.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will explore and research the different types of ecosystems around the world, specifically in India.

Okay, friends, I want you to use your Google Chromebooks to research different types of ecosystems around the world, pay careful attention to ecosystems in India and The United States, the country you live in. After you have done your research, I would like you to identify similarities and differences between Indian ecosystems and The United States Ecosystems. Then ask yourself, what type of ecosystem do I currently live in?

# data[].attributes.body
~Before ending the class everyone will write a reflection of the game.
You will include something interested you learned about Mexican culture, about the environment of housing/schooling within their income, and how it makes you feel from the beginning of when you saw or heard of the game to now knowing more of their culture of why they would play a game like this.

# data[].attributes.body
Okay, friends! Now that you have researched, discussed, and identified different ecosystems in India and the people, plants, and animals that interact in those environments you will be able to create your own miniature ecosystem! You may pick between a rainforest ecosystem, a desert ecosystem, or a saltwater ecosystem. For whichever ecosystem you choose, I have provided supplies and miniature figurine animals. You may choose up to 2 animals, soil or sand, and plant life that belongs in your ecosystem.

Supplies: Mason Jars, soil, sand, moss, sticks, pebbles, seashells, succulents, miniature animal figurines, water spray bottle, water, and salt

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video and researching more about ecosystems, students will complete this worksheet with a partner. They are to observe each picture and describe what the weather is like and what producers, consumers, and decomposers they see. If there are no producers, consumers, or decomposers in the picture, they should discuss and write what maybe in that specific ecosystem.

# data[].attributes.body
As a class, we will discuss, what will happen in ecosystems if one thing is missing. For example, what will happen in a rainforest if there are no plants? What would happen in the ocean if there were no rocks?

Finally, to check for understanding, I would have students take a short quiz and write a reflection about what they learned.

EXPLORATION: Students will do some research and explore how some plants are different. The main focus of their investigation is to identify plants' characteristics and how they use them, for example, "big leaves" to adapt. Some plants may need more water or more sunlight than others. Upon investigating, students will connect how not all plants are the same and many adapt to their environment to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
EXPLANATION: In small groups, students will research the name of the plants and their characteristics. They will work together on what environment best fits these plants.

"Alright, guys, we will be working in small groups. You will need to research the name of each plant and find out what environment is best. As you can see, the plants need to be divided into Dessert, Rainforest, Grassland, and Water. Look at the pictures of these environments. Think of the climate the surroundings. "

# data[].attributes.body
EXTENSION: Students will work on the "How will I survive in Mexico" worksheet in the same group. Students are to design their flowers based on the climate and soil in Mexico.

"There are many different locations, and in each place, various things can grow. In Mexico, the climate is really hot and almost sunny every day. There is not a lot of rain and rarely windy days. I want you guys to design your flower. What color is it? Does it have thorns, big leaves, can your flower reproduce and overgrow, is it very fragile? I want you guys to keep in mind Mexico and the environment. Give your flower a name, and as a class, we will see if your flower can survive Mexico. "

# data[].attributes.body
EVALUATION: Students are to investigate and discover the adaptations of plants, identify some characteristics to help adaptation in different climates. We then discuss other countries and how various things grow because of varying climate conditions in many different places. Today we talk about Mexico and how different it can be when it comes to growing plants.
