Grade+1



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 activies to help us understand what that scientific word really means. :)

Day 1: The Frog  [|Life Cycle of a Frog.pxi]
 * 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.
 * After the movie, we will complete an organizer using Pixie!

Day 2: The Butterfly  [|Butterfly Life Cycle.ins]
 * 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.
 * After the movie, we will complete another organizer. This time we will be using Inspiration.

= 1. Watch a movie about objects that sink and float. =Click on the t.v. to access it.= = = =2. Play the interactive game that will test your knowledge on weather, sinking and floating, and animals.= =Click on the boat to begin.= = = = = =3. Show off how smart you are by completing the organizer using Pixie!= =Click on the flag to begin.= [|Sinks or Floats.pxi] In this unit, you will be learing more about properties of matter. You can apply what you are learning in technology to what you are learning about this topic in your sciences classes. We will use technology to help us learn more about this topic by using resources that only technology can provide. You will be watching videos and simulations. You will also be able to take advantage of some great interactive programs that will allow you to change the states of matter as well as other things. This technology unit supports the New York City and New York State Science Curriculum and Standards for 1st Grade.
