Hillside Enrichment
At Home
Welcome! Week of May 11th
Do you want your children to have opportunities to build, make, and be creative at home? Are you concerned about your child spending so much time on technology? New challenges will be released at the beginning of the week, but you may submit responses on any day.
Answers are now posted for previous Word Wednesday and Thinking Thursday prompts on the "View Successful Solvers" document. To access the document with the links, click the picture below.

Biodiversity Week
May 22nd- International Biodiversity Day
Biodiversity and Classification
Biodiversity is the variety of life in a habitat or ecosystem. In this is a Mystery Science activity, you will decide how to classify, or group, animals. Using this PDF, print & cut the animal identification cards and see how you can sort them! Group similar animals together. If you get stuck on an animal, move it to the side. You can sort these multiple ways. You can also do the activity digitally by clicking this to add it to your Google Drive. You can move the cards on the Google Slides. Share your sort on our enrichment padlet below!
How did you use traits to help you decide what group each animal went with?
Were some hard to sort? Why?
Why do you think scientists do this?
