I turned the digital image into a collage project using construction paper. I used 12 x 18" construction paper. Have a background colour (in my case, turquoise). Then start with…

I have been so proud of the 2nd grade for their hard work over the last several weeks! I thought I would share some of the great work they have produced.

Make your own Food Chain Stacking Cups. Neat idea for a nature activity or Outdoor Science School program.

Students will learn about food chains and webs by researching animals and where they get their energy, create a food chain or web using the selected animals, and identify the variety of ways transfers of food energy can occur from a source in plants through a series of animals. For more AIMS Activi...

I love integrating Art into our Science lessons! I always try to include activities that address a variety of learning styles, because each student learns differently. And I think Art does the trick. We've been learning about food chains and to put my students' knowledge to use, I decided to get them to create food chains of their choice. This is what the final result looks like: For this activity, I divided my class into small groups and gave them a printable of animal clipart. Next, they…

Virginia Standards of Learning Science SOL 3.5, The student will investigate and understand relationships among organisms in aquatic and terrestrial food chains. Key concepts include: a) producer, consumer, decomposer; b) herbivore, carnivore, omnivore; and c) predator and prey. Background Information A food chain shows a food…
