We have been dabbling with life sciences by peering in on our general education peers.
We started our own little garden in a quadrant given to us to use and the students love it! We want to build our own space that we can be responsible for.
We would like to have our own raised bed and supplies to create our own garden for all students in our special programs to have a hand in and enjoy. This is for our Life Sciences and Energy Units. We can show the life cycle of a plant. We also learn about how a plant gets energy from the sun.
We would also like to learn about owl pellets. It is a standard for our grade leves (SC.4.N.1.4; SC.4.N.1.6; SC.4.N.1.7, SC.5.L.17.1; SC.5.N.2.1; SC.5.N.2.2l )and we do not get the supplies to learn and examine them. Hawks, eagles, and falcons are other species that also form pellets, but owls are the most efficient at forming and expelling the pellet. Dissecting pellets can provide valuable insight into what the animal eats. Once the class is done, we can discuss the students’ findings.
Instead of watching our peers we can have our own experiences and learn on our own and at our own pace.
