Last week we began our science studies unit on the concept of living and non-living organisms. The students and I have been discussing examples of living things and investigating whether something is living or non-living and why. More specifically, students have begun a science journal in which they illustrate an example of their research topic animal performing one of the seven characteristics of living things. This helps to reinforce the meaning of the seven characteristics and allows students to document researched proof of their animal being a living thing. Students are enjoying the connection between our writing unit and science study. It is wonderful to hear their observations and connections.
