Two recording pages given: one with fill in the blanks and a word bank to match the concepts in videos. (Video links also given to show whole group.) ***All videos linked with QR Codes are given a SafeShare (filtered videos) option AND direct links to YouTube. SafeShare is the best option IF your district does have the site blocked. Test before you print!
- Photograph Sort - 18 real life photographs given for students to practice sorting living/nonliving.
- I Spy.. - Photographs provided for students to work with a partner to analyze the living/nonliving organisms in one photo. These would work best using the full screen mode and projected whole class.
- Virtual Field Trips - Three QR codes given on recording page for students to scan, watch the video with a partner and record the living and nonliving objects found in the setting (farm, circus and zoo).
- Comparing Goldfish and Goldfish Cracker - Students can use a Venn Diagram or a Double Bubble Map to compare the characteristics.
- Flip Book: I Am Alive! - Students respond by drawing or writing to review the characteristics of living organisms.
- Explore & Record - Students take a walk outside to observe their natural world and record the living/nonliving things they see. This is great to use as a home connection activity!
