This week we are focusing on a new science TEK - classifying organisms and objects. Classifying things is an important skill in both math and science. One of the most important parts of classifying is explaining. Students should be able to explain why they put things together.
At Scholastic, your child can practice classifying animals that belong in a zoo. For a more challenging site go to PBS kids. Here under the Cyber Chase games there is a game called "logic Zoo" here students need to separate animals into the proper group. This is more challenging because some of the groups over lap. Kids really have t e paying attention to fix the mess Hacker made at the zoo.
At the last site, the BBC Schools, this week students will need to classify objects by what they are made of. Objects will come quickly down a conveyor belt and the student need to pick them up with the mouse and place them in the right groups.
Enjoy,
Mrs. Meraz
