Is it Living? Is it Non-living? Was it Once Living?


                                    

Pinterest             
There are Living and Non-living things all around us. I am excited to explore with students how to identify whether something is Living, Non-living or Once Living. We will be discussing the differences and doing a few experiments in the classroom to determine the category of different things which will answer the questions; Is it Living? Is it Non-living? Was it Once Living?
We will also be collaborating on a Class Pinterest board to allow students to show what they have learned and help us add to our knowledge!
           Using technology is a fun way to learn new things. Technology in the classroom engages all types of learning styles and helps us to explore our world in different and exciting ways. We can use technology to share the things that we learn with others easily and effectively. Pinterest is a technology tool that allows us to collaborate/share ideas with others and learn with hands-on experiences.

Assignment: Students will add pins to Class Pinterest board using the criteria we have learned.  There must be 3 pins classified as Living; 3 pins classified as Non-living; and 3 pins classified as Once Living.
