Area: Structure & Info Processing
This First Grade unit is the SECOND in the curriculum of three (3) units developed to address the First Grade science standards of the Michigan Science Standards related to Structure and Information Processing.
You have just read the general description for this Phenomenal Science Unit. Before you continue your review, it would be very valuable to our field testing process for the 21 Units of Phenomenal Science for us to gather information about those educators who are reviewing each of the Units. Thank you. Please start your review with this BRIEF SURVEY. Enjoy your review.
Students will observe how plants and animals have offspring and some may look similar but not exactly like their parents/adults. Students will explore how plants and animals have features (external and internal) that allow them to survive, grow, and meet their needs. Students will make many observations about plant and animal parts and how they use their parts to help them survive. They will observe how different plants and animals support their offspring in survival. Students will classify similar animals that can vary in many ways. Students will then apply their understanding of plant and animal survival in order to gain ideas about how to engineer something to solve a human problem. Students will use their knowledge of plant and animal parts to mimic one of these parts to design a solution to a human problem. Students will construct explanations and models for multiple engineering tasks.
