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.
