Second graders extend their knowledge of life cycles to other animals. They demonstrate their understanding that at the beginning of an animal's life cycle, some young animals represent the adult while others do not. They will participate in a variety of investigations to support their learning.
Students investigate the life cycle of a star and make conclusions based on evidence, research, and observation. In this lesson on space and scientific investigation, students describe the relationships between science and technology and build knowledge regarding the tools and techniques of scientific investigation. Students then work in groups to prepare and present information on one specific phase in the life of a star.
Eighth graders identify and organize the stages of a star's life cycle while exploring different kinds of galaxies. They view a power point presentation and take a short quiz. A homework assignment is given out with this lesson.
Students investigate the concept of stars and how they go through a life cycle. They take part in class discussion with the help of dialogue provided in the lesson plan. Students also view a powerpoint presentation for visual learners.
