Our exploration of the living world continues! Over the course of three sessions, our young scientists explored botany, water, and the human body.
Along with the existence of liquid water, the composition of our air are unique to our planet. To expand our understanding of the role plants play in our air, we explored the anatomy of seeds, plants, and leaves. Our young scientists also created terrariums to care for at home. During our exploration of water, we explored the water cycle and conducted an experiment to explore how water pollution affects living things.
Our exploration of mammals focused on the human body. We recreated the digestive system and explored our cardiovascular system. We also conducted a fun experiment to learn how activities affect our heart rate.

| Topic: Botany We explore the characteristics of plants. We compare and contrast the anatomy of plants, flowers, and trees. Skills covered: Understanding growth and development of organisms, comparing/contrasting, making and recording observations. | Topic: Water as Life We explore how the health of water affects life on our planet. We explore mechanical and biological filtration. Skills covered: Understanding Earth systems, the Scientific Method, obtaining and evaluating information. | Topic: The Human Body We explore mammals through a direct exploration of our bodies. We compare and contrast mammals to other living things. Skills covered: Engaging in evidence-based discussion, communicating information, comparing and contrasting |
