What's Living Among Us?

This week the students will learn about the characteristics of living organisms. Characteristics that living organisms share are 1) they reproduce, 2) they sense and respond to their environment, 3) they have energy, 4) they grow, and 5) consume food. One activity we will be focusing on is observing the parts of animals. What makes them alike or different? All animals have some sort of head, body, and a way to get around (legs, fins, etc.). Follow the links by clicking on the pictures and have fun with your child as you go through these activities together. Some of the content may be a little surprising.
