Major Project- Science Lesson (Week 3)

Good Morning Parents and or Guardians!! This week we dove into learning about hibernation! I wanted to briefly introduce hibernation this week, but whenever we officially enter Winter I will retouch this process. I started out my hibernation lesson with an audio recording that I made on speakpipe.com reading The Leaves Are Falling One by One by Steve Metzger. I had the students stand near the windows and listen to the recording and look for any colorful leaves or animals. I wanted to introduce different learning styles with this recording by how auditory learners were listening to a story, visual learners could look outside to count the leaves, and lastly kinetic learners were able to stand up instead of sitting in their desks. After the audio recording, we went on a nature walk outside to take pictures of how the trees are starting to change colors. I also talked about how we might not see any animals because they are starting the hibernation process soon. Lastly, I created an infographic providing the definition of hibernation and how trees become dormant. I had two examples of animals that do hibernate and two that do not hibernate. The children really loved learning about this concept.  Of course, I have another thinglink where all of these resources are provided regarding this lesson. As always have a wonderful day! Contact me with any questions!
