Needs of Living Organisms by Gonzalez, Elisa Milagros https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3 Summarizing and indentify the needs of living organisms en-us 2021-04-13 15:53:36 UTC 2024-06-06 09:05:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Description and Background emg2996 https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1412791033 Within this lesson, students will be researching and identifying the necessary needs that need to keep living organisms alive. In the section the students will separate the different needs between plants and animals. This will include researching the necessities for air, water, nutrients, and light for all living organisms. The students will also summarize how these necessities are also tied into the energy and growth that these living organisms need to survive within their lifetime.

2. Ecosystems for Kids 
This game is based on playing on a specific living organism and moving through obstacle or picking scenarios in which they need to avoid or complete in order to survive. The students are playing this game to see how they can go in order to become mature living organisms.

By: Stephen R. Swinburn 

When the tide goes out, a briny soup is trapped among the rocks. Playful poems introduce readers to ten salty tide-pool creatures--from a self-satisfied anemone that brags about its home to barnacles that perform a rap about their feeding technique. The poems are brought to life by Mary Peterson's lighthearted illustrations.
A secondary layer of factual text introduces children to the creatures that inhabit North American tide pools.]]> 2021-04-13 17:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413079808 Assessments emg2996 https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413271550 1.

By: Susie A. Shea 

This book does not directly address issues of living and nonliving things, but it does focus on one aspect that differentiates living and nonliving things – the fact that living things grow and nonliving things do not. The text is accompanied by large flaps for kids to lift. Before the flap is lifted, children see the small nonliving object (e.g., car). Then the flap is lifted to reveal the larger nonliving object (e.g., truck).]]> 2021-04-13 20:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413970477 Relatable Stories emg2996 https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413972389 Is it a Living Thing ? 
By: Bobby Kalman 

This book is suitable for ages 6 to 9 years. How can children tell when something is living or non-living? In large photographs and easy text, this captivating book highlights the characteristics of living things and shows how they are all dependent on non-living things to stay alive.]]> 2021-04-13 20:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413972389 Relatable Story emg2996 https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413974253 What's Alive? 
By: Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld 

The book covers a lot of great information about the topic of living and nonliving.  I think the story and illustrations make this book appealing to young children, but I thought the differences between living and nonliving could have been presented in a clearer and more straightforward way. To be fair, this book did cover the bases – it just did so in a less direct manner. ]]> 2021-04-13 20:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413974253 Relatable Stories emg2996 https://padlet.com/emg2996/qf3h4zrep9q1p4f3/wish/1413998100 Are You Living? 
By: Laura Purdie Salas

The book features a song about living and nonliving things that is sung to the tune of “Are you Sleeping?” It starts with “Are you living? Are you living? Do you eat? Do you sleep?” It then goes into how living things need air, living things grow, living things move, and living things need food. It also dives into the fact that people have thoughts and emotions, which I actually felt was a confusing addition because not all living things have thoughts and emotions (single celled organisms, anyone?).

In addition to the song, the first page includes a brief textual introduction to things that living things need. The last pages include sheet music so those who are musically inclined can play along as children sing the song. The last pages also include some additional interesting facts, suggestions for more learning resources, and a glossary to explain some of the big vocabulary words in the song.
