Common Core. Math.2.MD.D.10. Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
the data they collected on the safari
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 5 – Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking. K-2. Describe, measure, and/or compare quantitative attributes of different objects and display the data using simple graphs.
invite students to share their experiences
Common Core. ELA-Literacy.Speaking and Listening.2.1.A. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion).
Challenge students to continue looking for animals and to record the animals or signs they find.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 3 – Analyzing and Interpreting Data. K-2. Record information (observations, thoughts, and ideas).
compare their findings.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 4 – Analyzing and Interpreting Data. K-2. Use and share pictures, drawings, and/or writings of observations.
Take them outside and allow a few minutes for them to find two animals or signs of animals.
NGSS Performance Expectation. 2-LS4-1 – Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas. 2- LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans. There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. K-2. Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer a question.
Ask, “What might you see on a backyard safari?”
Common Core. ELA-Literacy.Speaking and Listening.2.1.A. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion).
look on the ground around the tree for fallen leaves, twigs, bark, fruits, seeds, or nuts that might also show signs of animal or plant life.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 2 – Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. K-2. Make observations (firsthand or from media) and/or measurements to collect data that can be used to make comparisons.
Challenge them to find things living on the tree’s trunk and branches, recording what they see on the student page.
NGSS Performance Expectation. 2-LS4-1 – Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. 3-Analyzing and Interpreting Data. K-2. Record information (observations, thoughts, and ideas).
these examples show ways that animals and other plants depend on trees, and that trees provide a habitat for these plants and animals.
