Hello Everyone! We finished our study of living and nonliving things with a fun (and a little slimy) activity. "Gummy Worms vs Earth Worms" The activity was adapted from a similar activity in the AIMS Science curriculum. We had already discussed the characteristics of both living and nonliving things. Last week I posted about our little pet rocks. (search "Pets Rock"). This week my sweet team decided to just dive into this cute little lesson about comparing Gummy worms and earth worms.

Oh, what we don't do to help our kids experience all they can!! My kids actually ended up naming our five worms and we will be keeping them for a few more days! So cute!! Anyway, thanks for stopping to take a peek into this wonder-filled world! I appreciate you all so much!! I've been working on a couple of math activities for next week. I'll try to save time tomorrow to share those! Stay tuned!! Till then, have a great night!! Joyfully! Nancy

Here are three activities dealing with living and nonliving: *Updated 2/06/2015* 1. A group sort for students to practice living versus nonliving. There are 12 different real life pictures for students to sort. 2. An experiment The students observe, compare, and contrast a gummi worm and an earthworm using a recording sheet. I get paper plates, popsicle sticks, real earthworms, and gummi worms and give my students one of each so they can observe. 3. An independent sort of living and nonliving pictures for students to sort as an assessment. An answer key is included with this. My students LOVE getting to see a live earthworm and it really helps them learn the concept!
