Students will understand that all animals live in a habitat and identify the four basic resources all animals need in their habitat to survive: food, water, shelter, and space.

Students will see evidence of the Sun’s radiant energy through solar beads and sun print paper. Through these activities students will learn all living things need the Sun’s energy, what happens when people get too much of the Sun’s energy, and how to protect themselves during hot days. 

Students learn about earthworms by observing them in their natural habitats and participating in activities that exhibit basic worm functions.

Students explore the changing relationships between the Sun, Earth and the Moon through a kinesthetic model and a hands-on craft project.
