Scientists Begin Studying Living Things

We have a new "driving question" in the Fawn Room!

"How can we help the living things at Spencer School survive?"

I sent scientists to record what they already knew:



We looked closely at the poster you see on the bottom of our chart.
I couldn't believe what they came up with! We took all their thoughts and put them together to come up with the ideas that animals need food, water, shelter, and air to survive. Some friends also agreed we must add that animals need to have a heart as well :-)

We then did some research:

We sorted some pictures:


We discovered that all living things move, breath, eat, grow and drink
