Lecture 7 - Teaching of science at elementary level. This lecture students builds an awareness of the basic needs of living things. Investigates and identifies resources (light, water, nutrients, and air) that plants need to survive. Investigates and identifies resources (food, water, and air) that animals need to survive. Determines how an organism’s habitat provides for its basic needs. Observes and explains that there are a variety of local environments (. field, forest, dessert, marsh, river). | Lecture # 7 SCIENCE 1 ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION TEACHING OF SCIENCE AT ELEMENTARY LEVEL Grade wise contents and activities GRADES 1–3: Builds an awareness of the basic needs of living things. Investigates and identifies resources (light, water, nutrients, and air) that plants need to survive. Investigates and identifies resources (food, water, and air) that animals need to survive. Determines how an organism’s habitat provides for its basic needs. Observes and explains that there are a variety of local environments (. field, forest, dessert, marsh, river). Provides examples of how an organism depends on other organisms and its environment to meet its basic needs. Grade wise contents and activities GRADES 1–3: continue Identifies physical characteristics that enable an organism to survive (. legs for moving, sharp teeth for eating, a hard shell for protection). Provides examples of diverse structures (. wings, legs, fins) that serve similar functions (. movement). Observes how organisms interact with their environments to meet their needs. Identifies potential sources of food (in the case of animals), shelter, water, air, and light within a particular organism’s habitat. Describes how organisms interact with other organisms and with nonliving things in their habitat. Examines and records how organisms react to changes in their habitat. Explains that some animals eat plants for food, others eat other animals, and some eat both plants and animals. Grade wise contents and activities GRADES 4–6: Investigates how changes in environments affect plants and animals (including humans). Observes and describes how organisms can cause changes (helpful and damaging) in their environments. Provides examples of situations that cause some plants and animals to change their behaviour to survive and reproduce, die out, or find new locations to live. Describes how growth, death, and decay are important aspects of living systems by providing evidence from . | Lecture # 7 SCIENCE 1 ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION TEACHING OF SCIENCE AT ELEMENTARY LEVEL Grade wise contents and activities GRADES 1–3: Builds an awareness of the basic needs of living things.
