Welcome to the Life Science Page! Over the next few months our class will be learning about the Life Sciences. We start the unit by learning about our classes human environments (habitats) i.e., bedroom,classroom and school environments. Than we move on to learn about the different habitats that other animals live in, e.g. Habitats. Next, we move on to study animals from our list of animals A to Z, which the students created. Student will use The Animal Page from this site and a few other age appropriate sites on the Internet to answer questions about their animals. They will also ask the question like, What makes their animal similar and different from other animals? We end the animal study with a culminating activity and presentation. Finally, we will end the Life Science Unit in the spring with the study of plants. All the activities are based on State Standards and District Curriculum.

My Goal for this LIFE SCIENCE Site and Unit is that it will be used as both a tool and resource by students, teacher and parents. As part of a Masters program I am learning best practices for Integrating technology into the first grade curriculum.
My primary objectives are: The Student will know and apply best practices of the
District AUP. The Student will use technology (data bases) to access information about specific topics. Students will participate in various independent and group projects, using several applications and tools of technology. This will be done through the use of digital cameras, scanners, graphic organizers, launch pages, web quests and rubrics (self assessment tool). Students will complete individual and group projects which will be presented in class and displayed on the projects page of this site.
