This week- Living and nonliving


This is an easy concept for second grade because they have had it before in first grade. We will continue to build on the knowledge and begin to include characteristics of living things. Here are a few sites the kids can use for review.


The first site (First School Years) is a good simple review. Student need to pick up the picture and drag it to the correct column living or nonliving. If the student misses an answer when they press check the computer will move it back to the top for them to try again. The next site, BBC Bitesize Revision, has more review. Students "take picture" of living organisms. When all the organisms are found, the student has to place the organism where they found it.



The last site is a "quiz"over living and nonliving things. Students will see several pictures on the page and they will chose if it is living or not. If they get an answer wrong the "quiz game" will explain the answer for them.


More next week,

Mrs. Meraz
