We
have been learning about living and non-living things in our Year Two
classroom- particularly in regards to things in the ocean!
I saw
this as the PERFECT opportunity to integrate our dramatic play rock pool and a
wonderful way to hook my students in!
We
gathered around our little rock pool and each picked out one item. We discussed
if this item was a living or non-living thing in the ocean!
Afterwards
we used the ocean sort from Cara Carroll's Science in May unit (It’s AMAZing!!!!
and used our knowledge to draw 3 living and non-living things from the ocean
into our workbooks!
Finally
we made our own living triaroma (again Science of May activity!! – get on it!!)
I think they are just the coolest and the students loved them! They worked for
30 minutes straight on them with no distraction!!
It was
a teacher battle choosing between the calm or pushing them to get it done so we
could move on! Sometimes you just have to give them the time!
Do you
have some amazing science ideas?! I would love to hear them!
