Expected Behaviors
Let students know that it is time to start science and that they have 1
minute to put away the current task and take out their science
notebooks and a pencil.
Explain to them that they will be doing several different tasks that
require them to take-notes, draw, and move around.
Remind them to listen carefully and raise their hand if they have a
question or comment

4)Guided Practice
Pass out the note paper that has a large square with four boxes
labeled animals, birds, insects, reptiles.
Bring up the Animals Around Us video and explain to students that
while they watch the video they must take notes in each box.
Pause the movie at each activity and perform them as a class.
After the movie, ask students if they know what a habitat is. Bring
up different pictures of a desert, forest, grassland, wetland
Explain each habitat to students and have them take notes on each.
Now pass out a blank piece of paper to each student. Have students
draw a picture of the habitat that they wish they could visit.
Once students are done drawing their pictures, have them look
through different National Geographic for different animals that
would be found in that habitat. Have them cut and paste these
pictures onto their drawing. Be sure to have students label their
picture!
In small groups, have students share their pictures and their reasons
for choosing that habitat.
Once students have all spent time sharing their pictures in small
groups, explain to students that they are going on a small field
trip outside to look at their schools habitat.
While outside have students do a think-pair-share about what they
see and why the animals they see are found in the schools habitat.
Students draw a picture of the habitat they most want to visit and
cut and paste different animal pictures onto their drawing
