Lesson 6 Living Things LIVING THINGS HAVE NEEDS Teacher Notes Science Inquiry Focus: What happens if humans’ and animals' needs are not met? Skills Development/Working Scientifically: • Questioning • Predicting • Analysing (sorting and classifying) • Recording and communicating Science Learning Outcome: • Pupils discover how they can take care of their needs and the needs of pets at home. Technology/Engineering/Mathematics Link: • Participating in an interactive online activity. Background Information • All animals, including humans, have five basic needs: air, food, water, sleep and protection from environmental conditions. Wild animals also require protection from predators and human impacts. • Domesticated animals such as pets, farm animals and zoo animals, have some or all of their needs provided for by humans. Wild animals meet their needs by themselves. • When a human’s or an animal’s needs are not met, their physical appearance and behaviours may change. Being tired, hungry, thirsty or breathless are the first signs that a human’s or an animal’s needs are not being met. This is a signal to the human or animal that it needs assistance. • In the wild, animals that don’t have their needs met may not survive, unless assisted by humans. With the introduction of community services, humans, pets and some wild animals may be rehabilitated by doctors, nurses, veterinarians and other experts. • If resources allow, establish a school/class vegetable garden or introduce a class pet to encourage pupils to care for their needs on a regular basis and connect to real-life situations. Assessment Focus: • Use page 24 and the class Y-chart as a formative assessment of the pupil's understanding of the different needs of living things, including humans, plants and other animals. Resources • Online images of dying plants • One copy of page 24 for each pupil • Online interactive activity Happy Animals! It’s a Dog’s Life at • Online video What do Pets Need? at • One copy of page 25 to be displayed on the interactive whiteboard Viewing sample 22 Science: A STEM APPROACH Infants 978-1-912760-14-5 Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com
Living Things LIVING THINGS HAVE NEEDS Lesson 6 Lesson Plan Introduction: 1. Conduct an image search of dying plants and display them using the interactive whiteboard. What has happened to these plants? Did they have their needs met? How can you tell? What did these plants need to survive? Development: 2. Using a think-pair-share, pupils answer the questions What do humans and animals need to survive? and What happens if humans and animals don't have their needs met? 3. Using page 24, pupils reflect on their basic needs to complete the sentences; for example, if I was thirsty, I would drink water. Pupils then draw a picture of them meeting each need. Differentiation • Less able pupils can complete the sentences orally and have an adult scribe their sentences into 'sentences' for them. • More able pupils should be encouraged to write and complete the sentences If I was breathless, I would … and If I had no protection, I would … 4. In pairs, pupils share their sentences written on page 24. What basic human needs were not included on the page? What might happen if humans do not have access to shelter or air? 5. Display the interactive game Happy Animals! It's a Dog's Life at . Click on the dog bone on the left-hand panel, then click on the dog on the couch. Pupils turn pets’ sad houses into happy houses. Read the information to the pupils and select individual pupils to drag the items to the animal. Why do you think toys have been included as needs? Do you think this is correct? Who is responsible for providing these needs to pets? 6. Watch the online video What do Pets Need? at . Pupils think about a pet that they would like to have and, using a think-pair-share, discuss how they would take care of their pet's needs. Reflection: 7. Display the Y-chart on page 25 and have pupils brainstorm the needs of each living thing. Draw and/or write each need in the relevant place.
