This unit introduces 1st
grade children to the wonders of eggs and develops
developmentally-appropriate
concepts in biology and life science. Activities combine literature,
role-playing, drama, and art with observation of eggs, as children
learn about
the diversity of animals that come from eggs. They use small plastic
animals
for sorting, classifying, and graphing activities. Students also
explore the
movement of plastic eggs and other objects on flat and inclined
surfaces. These
activities are noteworthy for interweaving literature, mathematics, and
the
physical sciences with life science. |
