Check out this free printable Pangaea puzzle for when you are teaching geography. It is super interesting to talk about the possibility of Pangaea. Many secular historians think that a long, long time ago (they think millions of years ago), the continents were not continents but one body; like a supercontinent of land on Earth. While Pangaea is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the Bible does present the possibility of a Pangaea. Some views really provide a viable explanation for how humanity and animals were able to migrate to continents now separated by vast oceans. It is a very intriguing subject to discuss with the kiddos.

Un projet de fin d'année : les fourmis et leur fourmilière ! On se lance même si je ne suis pas une grande fan des petits bêtes ! Voici notre fourmilière qui a débuté depuis quelques jours : Etape de la mise en place : Acheter une fourmilière ou la fabriquer ! ( ici trouvée sur Amazon) Attraper des fourmis !! Se munir de bocaux, tupperwares ou autres récipients. Mettre des aliments sucrés : fraise, confiture, sucre.. voir tout en même temps c'est ce qui a le mieux fonctionné ! ( Merci à ma collègue qui m'en a donné car ça n'a pas fonctionné avec juste de la pomme!) Trouver des endroits avec les élèves où poser les récipients. Revenir 1heure plus tard environ. Une fois les fourmis dans le récipient, le placer au frigo une dizaine de minute pour calmer les fourmis ! ( si si ça fonctionne!!) Transvaser ensuite les fourmis dans le bocal adéquat ( ou faire venir les fourmis directement dans le bocal fourni avec la fourmilière) puis .. attendre ! Couvrir un maximum la fourmilière pour que les fourmis soient dans le noir. N'ayant pas de reine, nous allons juste observer quelques temps le travail des fourmis dans la terre, ensuite nous les relâcherons. Pour travailler sur les fourmis, voici un dossier qui contient: Le cycle de vie de la fourmi Les rôles des fourmis Le schéma de la fourmi Une mise en page pour travailler sur la carte d'identité de la fourmi Fiche d'observations / mise en place La fourmilière Pour ce projet j'ai utilisé les livres suivants : Et la chanson de la "fourmi rouge" d'Henri dès ! Si vous souhaitez les paroles, je l'ai retapée ! A écouter ICI ! Voilà je crois que je n'ai rien oublié ! Si vous voyez des coquilles n'hésitez pas !!
