Students will learn about the needs of all living things when you show them and discuss our mini-poster. Then they will complete a living and nonliving sort. There are 12 beautiful photographs of animals, 12 of different types of plants, and 12 of non-living things. Each photograph has the name of the object printed underneath it. These can be laminated and cut out so that students can sort them under the labels living and non-living (also included). This can be done with the whole group, in small groups or at centers. If this is done at centers putting 6 pictures from each category out allows for the center to be done twice.

There are 2 follow-up worksheets at slightly different levels, so you can choose what is best for your individual students' needs.

Construction- This is the building stage!

Testing- The students test their designs to see if they have solved the problem, and met the challenge.

Evaluation- The students critique their designs and think about what they might change.

These lesson plans were made with the intention to help simplify the demanding task of planning, researching and trying different techniques before you found the "perfect one". The 'All About Apples' Pre-K Lesson Plans offers interesting, interactive and simply activities.

About Me:

I got my start educating in zoos and aquariums. I went to art school and graduated with a degree in graphic design, then joined the aquarium's design team where I worked until I had my two sons. I continue to design while raising my family and feel so lucky to be in a profession I enjoy, combining my two passions - design and science education.

I also do custom work. Please email me with any needs. Thank you!
