STUDENT ACTIVITY – 4th -- TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will use knowledge of adaptations to compare the structures and functions of plants. These likenesses are passed down between parent plants and their offspring.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities. .

In this lesson students will explore the physical characteristics of insects and how they camouflage themselves to avoid being eaten by predators.

Students will explore the outdoor classroom in pairs looking for evidence of animal life and imagining what types of animals might live in and around the area.

Students will explore the outdoor classroom in pairs looking for evidence of animal life and imagining what types of animals might live in, and survive in, the outdoor classroom area.

The students will explore the outdoor classroom in pairs looking for evidence of animal life cycles and imagining what types of animals might live in, and survive in, the outdoor classroom area.

Students will explore the biome in which they live while comparing it to other major biomes around the world.Standard(s): 5.L.2.1 Compare the characteristics of several common ecosystems

Students will compare different plant traits and determine how each structure helps that species of plant grow and reproduce in the schoolyard habitat. After which, students can observe each plant for acquired traits.

Students will read the complex text on compost and use the outdoor space to verify or deny the content of the text in the real-world setting.

In this lesson, students will use an existing compost pile to make observations that will help them better understand the decomposition process.

In this lesson, students will use an existing compost pile to make observations that will help them better understand the decomposition process.Background for instructors:The ultimate purpose of this lesson is for students to learn about decomposition as a part of the cycle of energy and matter through an ecosystem. The compost is used as an observation station for this concept and does not therefore have to function in connection with the growing of vegetables in the garden. In other words, a simple pile or decaying organic material will suffice as long as there is evidence of the decomposition process, i.e. fungus, rotting material, and visible organisms. If your school has a functioning compost operation, this lesson can be used to bolster understanding and enthusiasm in that process as well.

In this lesson, students will use an existing compost pile to make observations that will help them better understand the decomposition process.

STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 4th -- NCThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home. The student will explore the garden environment for examples of organisms meeting their needs and will be given an event that might cause that organism to thrive, move or perish.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

Students will explore the garden environment for examples of organisms having their needs met and will be given an event that might cause that organism to thrive, move or perish.

Students will learn about the ways garden organisms depend on each other for survival and create "human" food chains to show how energy is transferred from the sun to living things.

Students will observe organisms in their ecosystem and describe the flow of energy in food webs
