Brilliant Brains Bulletin- K
September/October
Mrs. Redmon
Current Studies and Explorations
In October, we will begin exploring "living & non-living" things in our environment. We will discuss the processes and practices employed by scientists in the field of biology. Through hands-on investigations, your student will discover that all animals need food in order to live and grow. And that they obtain their food from plants or from other animals. Students will also learn that plants need water and light to live and grow.
To gain a better understanding of these concepts, students will go on a nature walk and make observations & record their findings through videos or sketches in their science notebook.
Throughout this unit they will gain more knowledge of the many different kinds of living things in their world. Whether on land, in water, inside, or outside; living things are everywhere!
