  1. Grade 4 Life Science:Habitats and Communities Created by: Melissa Horvath

  2. Units Components • 13 Lessons • Pre-Lesson videos • Gain an understanding of habitats and communities • Learn about the four components of habitats that are necessary for survival • Learning outside of the classroom

  3. Unit Components • Assessment – ongoing and includes a variety of tools • Safety – included in every lesson • Clean up – a bucket for all science journals, have a designated spot “science area” in classroom

  4. Outcomes • HC4.1 Analyze the effects of human activities on habitats and communities. (Lessons 1 – 5, 13) • HC4.2 Investigate the interdependence of plants and animals within specific habitats and communities. (Lesson 6 – 9, 13) • HC4.3 Compare the structures and behaviours of animals and plants that allow them to exist in different habitats and communities. (Lessons 9 – 13)

  5. Lesson 1: Habitat Lap Sit • Outcome: HC4.1, Indicator: f • Read The Magic School Bus Hops Home: A Book About Habitats • Students will be introduced to four main components of a habitat • Create a circle to represent the interdependence of components

  13. Lesson 9: Creating Habitats (Part 2) • Outcomes: HC4.2, Indicators: f, l • Complete habitat and written components • Examine a classmate’s habitat • Answer questions about their classmate’s habitat

  14. Lesson 10: Special Adaptations • Outcome: HC4.3, Indicators: a, b, c • Go outside to examine different types of organisms • Write and draw about components of habitat • Identify special adaptations of an organism
