Exploring Plants and Animals...NGSS

This packet is designed to meet the Next Generation Science Standards for Exploring Plants and Animals.  It is filled with activities, experiments and vocabulary to support you in teaching these core ideas.  Assessments have been added to this packet as well as more informational text.
I provide a number of literature suggestions for you to use to support content understanding.
Vocabulary is also available for posting.  Here you will find 6 examples.

Plants begins with a KWL chart and a poster with the core concepts.
There is also informational text.
Not shown is a cover for Exploring plants that you can use for a student folder.
Each key concept is written on a poster and then followed by activities that support it.





Similar patterns are followed with animals.
I have included real photos for students to use for identifying characteristics.
There are 24 for similar characteristics to parents and 8 for how young depend on their parents.
These photos can be used for other identifying features:  protection, fur, camouflage, habitat.




The packet ends with lessons on ME.
It covers traits, genes, heredity, and how we depend on our parents.
