TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS
NATURAL SCIENCE
KEEPING THE ENVIRONMENT CLEAN
Activity: “Pollution Hunt”
Description: Take students on a walk around the school to identify and record litter or pollution sources. Back in class, they sort the items into recyclable and non-recyclable, and discuss how this affects nature.
Inquiry Skills: Identifying, classifying, predicting consequences.
Concepts: Pollution harms the environment and can be prevented by responsible behavior.
CARING FOR PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Activity: “Plant Detective”
Description: Learners plant seeds (like beans) in clear plastic cups with soil. Over the weeks, they observe and record how the plant changes—measuring growth, noticing color changes, and identifying needs like water and sunlight.
Inquiry Skills: Observation, questioning, recording data.
Concepts: Living things need water, sunlight, and care to grow.
SOCIAL SCIENCE
RULES FOR A CLEAN AND SAFE PLACE
Activity: “Our Class Rulebook”
Description: In groups, learners brainstorm rules for keeping their classroom clean and safe. They vote on the best rules and create a poster together.
Inquiry Skills: Communication, collaboration, decision-making.
Concepts: Rules help us work together and care for our environment.
HELPING THE COMMUNITY
Activity: “Community Helpers Role-Play”
Description: Learners choose roles (e.g., park cleaner, gardener, teacher) and act out how they help the community. The class discusses how each person contributes to keeping the environment clean and safe.
Inquiry Skills: Empathy, discussion, asking questions.
Concepts: Everyone has a role in caring for shared spaces.
TECHNOLOGY
REUSE AND RECYCLE
Activity: “Treasure from Trash”
Description: Learners bring clean recyclable materials from home and, in small groups, create something new (e.g., a toy, robot, or bird feeder). They explain how they made it and what problem it helps solve.
Inquiry Skills: Creativity, planning, problem-solving.
Concepts: Materials can be reused or recycled to reduce waste
TOOLS THAT CAN HELP US CARE FOR NATURE
Activity: “What’s This Tool For?”
Description: Present a selection of real or toy tools (e.g., broom, rake, watering can). Learners explore them through guided questions: What is this? What does it do? Where do we use it? Then, they match tools to tasks in pictures.
Inquiry Skills: Exploration, prediction, explaining function.
Concepts: Tools help us solve problems and do tasks more easily.
