My Backyard (1st-2nd grade)
We have had a lot of fun discovering new things in our unit “My Backyard”! We have hunted for
pillbugs (roly polys) outside and taken a nature walk wearing a sock over one shoe! Some of us picked up a few seeds on the sock, which we shoved in a milk carton and watered. You will be surprised to see the results! We have studied various backyard critters including pillbugs, ladybugs, and hummingbirds. The students have learned a lot of new and interesting vocabulary. Some of the fascinating facts that they have learned include:
Flight agility frequency iridescence Nectar proboscis
pollinate Species migrate exoskeleton Arthropod crustacean
molting Predators dehydration wood lice Compost beetle metamorphosis Larva
