This is an interactive, first grade Nearpod lesson tied to SEEd standard 1.2.3. It guides students through information and activities about how animals and plants at different stages of growth look similar, but not the same.
This resource is a student-ready, three-dimensional SEEd science lesson you can add to your Nearpod library. Many of the phenomena, text, and images come from UEN OER textbooks, Seedstorylines.org, ck12.org, and pixabay.com. Most videos are from youtube.com or pbslearningmedia.org. Many of the simulations were found at phet.colorado.edu, ck12.org, and pbslearningmedia.org. This lesson is unique to Nebo School District but was built with the help of many amazing ideas from teachers throughout Utah.

This activity is a science journal that includes blank space for plant investigation, observation & results.

This project is designed to help students create a short documentary film using the information they gathered to create an animal report. It can be used after writing an animal report or can be adapted to be used as the actual animal report. It can be designed to appear as a documentary series with all students having the same title opening, or be completely standalone. Students will be learning to find creative commons photos and videos to use in their film. They will create their film using iMovie on their iPads. Brown-Throated three-toed sloth female face.jpg- Wikimedia Commons

This is a lesson is a designed to help first grade teachers and their students learn about life cycles.  It is a springboard into learning about other animal life cycles, how aniumals are not like thier parents, and the similarities and differences between parents and offspriong. This lesson uses Gale in Context from Utah Online Library culminting in creating an Adobe Spark project. The activities in this lesson can be completed in 30 minute sessions. 

This lesson supports the 1st-grade science core strand 1.2: The Needs of Living Things and Their Offspring. Students obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about mother and baby animals and begin to construct an explanation of patterns in the behavior of parents and offspring which helps offspring to survive.
