Lesson Plans - 3rd Grade*What animals live in the zoo? Describe them in sentences; then illustrate them. Students begin by viewing an animal webcam, making observations, and describing what they see in a notebook or log. Once your students have considered how zoos have changed over the past century, invite them to imagine the zoo of the future. How will animals be cared for? What will the zoo look like? Who will visit the zoo? What will be the primary mission of the zoo? In small groups, students can explore these questions and then design their own zoo of the future using drawings, posters, dioramas, or a similar display technique. Students will: discuss paintings by Vincent van Gogh, independently develop a classification method for trees, create leaf rubbings, and learn about the ways to calculate the age of a tree. |
