Life Science


In the upcoming weeks in science, we will focus on winter animals.  We will learn how they survive and adapt during the winter season.  First we will look at woodland animals and then animals in the polar regions.  The children will be exposed to new vocabulary such as hibernate, dormant, scarcity, and habitat.  Many animals are either dormant or hibernating during the winter months.  This concept is difficult for young children to grasp because it's not something they can observe first hand.  I will rely on quality non-fiction text, children's literature, photographs and the internet to present these life science concepts.
