Students can explore natural resources, erosion, community environmental health, and writing that deepens understanding of incorporating evidence and persuasion for an audience. The lesson/activity helps students visualize the paths of water and includes links to more teaching slides and a video.
This outdoor lesson ties science, health, and math together (standards aligned for K, but all ages love this lesson). The Big Idea of Change Over Time is embedded as children explore patterns, symmetry, and impermanence while gaining the opportunity to gather natural ephemera.
Using nature as a backdrop, students explore patterns and how those patterns are evident everywhere around us. Students will use motif, color, balance, symmetry and geometry to create solo or even group works of art.
Explore biodiversity and the delicate balance of living organisms through questioning, investigating, creating a model, and evaluating data. Bring it all to life by assisting that biodiversity through the creation of clay seed bombs.
