First of all we have to go to a place in which we can observe several animals and their natural habitat. When we are in the classroom, we will draw different landscapes on a mural: the jungle, the ocean, a farm, ...Children will look for some pictures of animals in some magazines and they will glue them in the appropriate place of the mural. Then each child has to imitate the movements of the animal he/she has glued on the mural. When we have talked about the different places in which the animals have to live and the minimum conditions these places have to have, we will talk about the conditions that a snail would need to live. Then we will bring one snail, and we will put it in a box. We will make holes in it and will cover it with a transparent lid. We will also put a lettuce leaf in the box. We will need a new leaf each day, so each child will bring it one day. We have to observe the signs the snail leaves in the leaf. We will also observe how the snail reacts when we drop some water on it. Finally, we will pay attention to the marks that it leaves on the ground when it moves and how it moves. When we have finished observing the snail, we will bring it to the place in which it was found. P.D.: We can also bring another animal to the class instead the snail if we can take care of it and we can find it in an area close to us. |
