This week we started our unit on animals. Students were asked to recall all the animals they know and draw or write them in a circle map. They encouraged and help each other recall animals that live in cities, jungles, forests and oceans. From there we discussed how a scientist could identify which offspring (baby) matched with which adult. These are some of the responses they shared:
Part of their requirements as kindergarten scientists is to recognize that adult animals and their young have similar body parts to one another and that some characteristics are shared between parents and their young. Although they may not be identical, they may appear very similar.
- They have the same color fur.
- They have the same body parts.
- They look just alike.
- They move the same way.
- They have the same parts.
