Now let's play a game! http://www.learningliftoff.com/1st-grade-science-game-animal-coverings/#.Vt7r6X0rJ1s Day 3a: To learn how animal adaptations have helped animals to survive in their environments What are adaptations? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB8nLZmxN_M

Let's watch this short video and create a list of different ways that animals adapt to help them to survive! Let's watch this video to learn how the camel, giraffe, and penguin have all adapted to live in their environments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRX2JtKFUzk Play this game to test what you know...

Day 4: To compare and contrast the way baby animals look with their parents <span style="font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 20px;">Some baby animals, like humans, resemble their parents very much. They are just a smaller version. <span style="font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 20px;">Some baby animals, like a chicks, look close to their parents, but there are some differences. <span style="font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 20px;">Then, there are some animals, like a frog, that look COMPLETELY different than their parents. <span style="background-color: #97ffae; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 120%;">Let's play these matching and sorting games to visually compare and contrast baby animals with their parents. Click on the frog.
 * Write what you know... We will be keeping a list of the animals we see in today's lesson for a future project.



<span style="color: #09c8c8; font-family: &#39;comic sans ms&#39;,cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px;">Over the next couple of weeks, we will be exploring the life cycles of different animals. We will focus on the frog and the butterfly in particular. Their life cycles are different than most animals because they go through a metamorphosis. We will be watching some videos and doing some activities to help us understand what that scientific word really means. :)  1.  To sequence a Pixie organizer to help us understand better the life cycle of a frog  <span style="color: #000080; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 18px;">The Frog
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 18px;">We will start off the day by watching a [|BrainPOP] movie about the frog. Observe how different it looks from the time it hatches to the time it is an adult.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 18px;">After the movie, we will complete an organizer using Pixie!

2. To learn about animal life cycles by watching a video and playing a game

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 18px;">The Butterfly
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 18px;">Again, we will start off the day by watching a [|BrainPOP] movie about butterflies. We will once again use our skills of observation to notice the changes it undergoes from the time butterflies are born to the time they are adults.
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: &#39;Comic Sans MS&#39;,cursive; font-size: 18px;">After the movie, we will complete another organizer. This time we will be using Inspiration.
