(b)

Make and record observations and measurements about the observable characteristics of plants and animals using written language, pictures, and charts.

(c)

Group representations (e.g., photos, videos, drawings, and oral descriptions) of plants and animals according to various student-developed criteria.

(d)

Engage in personal, scientific, and Indigenous ways of organizing understanding of living things.

(e)

Describe characteristics common to humans (e.g., eyes, ears, hair, and numbers of limbs and teeth) and identify variations (e.g., eye colour, hair colour, skin colour, height, and weight) that make each human unique.

(f)

Compare observable characteristics (e.g., leaf, root, stem, flower, fruit, and seed) of plants of various types and sizes that live in different habitats.

(g)

Record information, using written language, pictures, and tables, about the appearance and behaviour of familiar animals, such as classroom or personal pets, at regular intervals over a specific time interval.

(i)

Differentiate among animals according to their observable characteristics.

(j)

Compare characteristics of plants and animals at different stages of their lives (e.g., compare an adult dog with a pup, compare a young tree with an older established tree, and compare a baby bird with a fully grown bird).

(k)

Communicate knowledge (e.g., share a story, describe an experience, or draw a picture) about the observable characteristics of a favourite plant or animal.

(l)

Respond positively to others' questions and ideas about the observable characteristics of living things.

(m)

Hi! Fly Guy
When Buzz enters Fly Guy in The Amazing Pet Show, the judges aren't impressed. Flies are pests and can't be pets, but Fly Guy is determined to amaze everyone with his tricks. After all, how many pets can say their master's name and know their own jar? Fly Guy wins the Smartest Pet Award, and a beautiful friendship between Buzz and Fly Guy begins.
This video's controlled vocabulary, simple sentence structures, and chapter segments make it an ideal choice for emergent readers. Youngsters will be drawn to the cartoon-like animations and quirky story, which offers possibilities for sequencing, predicting, and character analysis. Thematically, this tale could be used for discussions about exotic pets, unusual friendships, families, and overcoming obstacles. From a science perspective, opportunities abound for the study of flies and other insects, particularly those considered pests. Buzz, who is outfitted with a butterfly net, hard hat, and insect jar, will introduce students to the naturalist's world.

National Geographic Science 1-2
This series of modular kits allows students to build skills to ensure a complete understanding of the nature of science. The process skills and the nature of science work together to help students think and act like scientists. Students will develop their process skill of observation. Through the nature of science, students will learn that science knowledge is based upon evidence and that science knowledge can change based upon new evidence. Numerous opportunities are provided for students to complete hands-on explorations that ensure a thorough understanding of key science concepts. Each unit opens with a big question to guide learning. Throughout the unit, there are four levels of inquiry. The explore activity allows students to build background knowledge. Teachers direct instruction in directed inquiry. In guided inquiry, students become independent learners with guidance from the teacher. Students choose their own questions, create and carry out plans, collect and record data and share data in open inquiry.
