The student knows that organisms resemble their parents and have structures and processes that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to: (A) investigate how the external characteristics of an animal are related to where it lives, how it moves, and what it eats; (B) identify and compare the parts of plants; (C) compare ways that young animals resemble their parents; and (D) observe and record life cycles of animals such as a chicken, frog, or fish en-us 2022-11-19 23:40:29 UTC 2022-11-20 02:39:42 UTC hello@padlet.com jennifercahak https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391158170 This is a very basic illustration that displays the life cycle of a chicken. This can be a great resource for printing on cardstock and laminating to use year after year. It can be used to introduce the subject, or to pull from during the lesson. It can also be used as a resource in the resource area of the classroom, for students to refer back to as needed during independent writing time. ]]> 2022-11-20 00:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391158170 jennifercahak https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391159530 For this, I will use the Life Cycles in Nature Guide. It as several series of images to use that show the life cycle of specific plants and animals. I especially appreciate how clear these images are for young children to understand. ]]> 2022-11-20 00:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391159530 jennifercahak https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391160566 This resource was designed specifically for a second grade TEKS, but can easily be adapted and adjusted to meet the first grade TEKS for life cyces. This includes a project using a clothes pin to help students imagine a grasshopper. It is useful for Kinesthetic learners. ]]> 2022-11-20 00:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391160566 jennifercahak https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391161231 This is a great resource for exploring the different habitats around the world where various animals live and survive. ]]> 2022-11-20 00:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391161231 jennifercahak https://padlet.com/jennifercahak/2kvzl8dpecy52lzc/wish/2391161924 This is a great resource for showing students the different ecosystems of animals.
