Lesson 5 Living Things CREATURE FEATURES IN DIFFERENT PLACES Lesson Plan This lesson involves pupils investigating a garden or park. This could be green space in the school grounds or in the local area. Alternatively, you could ask the pupils to investigate their own garden at home or a green space near to where they live. Introduction: 1. Recap with pupils what kinds of animals they have looked at so far; i.e. ocean animals like fish, sharks and sea turtles; and woodland animals like the rabbit and fox. What kind of body parts did they have? How are they the same or different? Draw a simple Venn diagram on the whiteboard to write the class responses in. Development: Ocean Both Woodland 2. What kind of animals might you find in a garden? Discuss class responses. 3. Show pupils the interactive Garden Detective game , and use it as a whole class. Pupils take turns to find one of the 24 creatures. Draw attention to the fact card for each animal that is found in the garden. 4. Pupils become their own garden detective and explore their own garden or the school garden to find one creature to learn more about. Pupils will need to photograph their chosen creature and have their parents email or SMS it to the teacher. A parent letter template has been provided on page 33. 5. Once all photographs have been collected/received, the teacher can print them and save the digital files. Pupils need to fold a piece of card into thirds and create a tri-fold board. They will glue their photograph to the centre panel, label all the body parts of their creature and find out how it uses them to move, eat, drink, breathe and protect itself. A selection of non-fiction books about the various creatures should be collected from the library, during their library session. Differentiation • Challenge pupils to find more information about their creature by searching the Internet for information. • Guided group work will enable small groups or pairs to assist each other in creating the creature fact file. In addition, pupils can use the headings on page 34 to guide their research. Reflection: Viewing sample 6. Display the finished fact files around the classroom or on the working wall for pupils to conduct a gallery walk. Remind pupils they must simply observe and not make any comments. 7. Once pupils have viewed everyone’s work, discuss any observations. 32 Science: A STEM APPROACH 1st CLASS 978-1-912760-15-2 Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com
Living Things CREATURE FEATURES IN DIFFERENT PLACES Lesson 5 Garden Detective Letter Dear parents In science this term, we have been learning about animals and their body parts. This week, we are learning about the creatures we can find in our own gardens. Your child will need to search for and take a photograph of a creature. This can include insects , arachnids or annelids; for example, a fly, beetle, worm, ladybird, woodlouse, spider, ant, grasshopper, moth, butterfly, dragonfly, earwig or caterpillar.
