an animal to research, learn about the animal’s habitat, and then replicate the animal's habitat using household items. They can choose to create a miniature replica, or a kid-sized habitat. In this activity, students will be able to develop their researching and creativity skills, while also having fun thinking from the perspective of an animal in the wild. 2. Learning Activity: Science
Experiment
Explore Soil Erosion - In this activity, learners will
experiment with the idea of soil erosion, which is the washing or blowing away of soil. Students will also hypothesize about ways to help prevent soil erosion. Throughout the experiment, the teacher will ask questions that will inspire the student to think about soil erosion, as well as to consider more ways to make discoveries and draw conclusions about soil erosion. Note: This assignment requires preparation and about a week or so for the grass to grow. The teacher will then explain to the students that soil is found on the uppermost layer of the Earth’s crust. Soil is a mixture of four main ingredients: weathered rock, long-dead plants and animals, air, and water. Soil is important because it provides a place where organisms and bacteria can live. Plants rely on soil for nutrients, water, and mineral salts. Plants in turn provide the oxygen we breathe, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the foundation and building materials we use to make our homes. We could not meet our basic needs without soil. 3. Learning Activity: Build your model (Hands-on Experience)
In this learning activities, Ask the students to
build their own model using the scientific knowledge they have acquired and teacher can provide supportive guidance. Students will be creative in making models and designing their own imaginative means of testing them. This is the right approach to find the scientist in them and helping them to discover and explore science every day. 3. Learning Activity: Build your model (Hands-on Experience)
For instance, learners will involved themselves in
composting by following easy and Earth-friendly steps! Young environmentalists will enjoy learning why and how to compost as they create their own kitchen compost pail, explore the items they can put in their compost and the items to exclude, and then help with the process of filling their compost, turning it, and observing the changes that occur. This will help the learners to grow their observation and critical thinking skills while getting them involved in the gardening process. And during the application process, they will know about these answers on these questions: Why do people compost? Why do some things decompose (break down), whereas other things stay the same (man-made vs. natural)? What are some materials that may not decompose? How do you know? Connection to the Real World Questions : How can composting help us grow more food to eat? Why do you think composting is good for the Earth? 4. Learning Activity: Taking the classroom out into the real world Go to the school garden and observe a dying flower and how to bring back to life. Doing this they can apply what they've learned and put to use. (They could possibly help their mother on how to take care of their plants) 5. Learning Activity: Sport-based Learning Where teachers can used sport such as basketball to see how physics works that makes learners see how they can apply physics in real life.
