The three lessons in this module introduce students to the characteristics and needs of humans, other animals, and plants.Also included:* Materials lists;* Activity descriptions;* Questioning techniques;* Activity centre and extension ideas;* Assessment suggestions; and* Activity sheets and visuals. The module offers a detailed introduction to the Hands-On Science program (guiding principles, implementation guidelines, an overview of the skills that young students use and develop during scientific inquiry), a list of children's books and websites related to the science topics introduced, and a classroom assessment plan with record-keeping templates.

Describes the characteristics that make plants living things, discussing their cells; parts; and how they grow, make food, and clean the air.

Examines the ways that living things are classified into groups according to their characteristics.

The lessons in this module introduce students to the classification system for living things. Students investigate the animal, plant, fungus, protest, and moneran kingdoms, to observe, identify, compare, and classify various living things. As well, they explore the field of archaeology through a study of fossils.Also included:* Materials lists; * Activity descriptions;* Questioning techniques; * Activity centre and extension ideas;* Assessment suggestions;* Activity sheets and visuals.

Describes the homes that different kinds of animals live in, including a bear's cave, a raccoon's den in a hollow log, a squirrel's nest, a prairie dog's burrow, and a bee's hive.

Living Things is Fiona Robyn's first poetry collection.

A look at how living things interact and transfer energy in different ecosystems.

Explains how scientists classify living organisms, how the science of classification has changed over time, how the natural world continues to evolve, and where everyday living things fit into the classification system.

This science series looks at what living things need to stay alive. Each title looks at one of the basic elements of life and considers what it is, which things need it, why, and how they use it.

This series shows how living things are interdependent and how variation has benefits and limitations for the survival of organisms in specific habitats. It also looks at threats to the diversity of living things on Earth.

Describes the states of water and how such living things as plants, land animals, ocean animals, and humans get the water that they need.

This science series looks at what living things need to stay alive. Each title looks at one of the basic elements of life and considers what it is, which things need it, why, and how they use it.

Introduces living things, discussing their characteristics, nutrition and energy production, and evolution.

Developed by leading science educator and former president of the National Science Teacher's Association, Ed Ortleb, "Seasons and Living Things" offers curriculum-oriented worksheets that provide a focused unit of information on each subject. No teacher preparation is required to use the pages. Activities include coloring, cutting, pasting, sequencing, matching, drawing, games, and puzzles. Extension activities and background information included in teacher guide.

Collects simple experiments involving plant growth, light, and microorganisms.

A look at the different living and nonliving factors that interact in ecosystems.
