We have begun our 4 week unit on habitats. Last week we learned about land animals, the different places they could live on land, and what they needed to survive in their environment. This week we learned about the world underneath our feet. What exactly is going on down there?!
We started by talking about all of the animals that live or sleep underground. Everyone then colored a different underground animal to place in our class underground tunnel.
Then today we talked about all of the yummy foods that we eat that grow underground.
We started by reviewing plant parts, and we learned that we can actually eat every part. We eat flowers, leaves, stems, and even roots! To explore this concept we each got a different veggie to investigate.
What part of the plant is it, and is it on the top or bottom of the plant?
After we discussed everyone's vegetable, we had a little test waiting at the table for us. Each table had a plate with two vegetables on it, one "top" and one "bottom", and a piece of paper labeled top and bottom. We then had to decide which veggie was which and stamp it in the appropriate box.
Finally, it was time to finish up our underground habitat by creating a "bottoms" garden.
Now on to the next habitat...The Sky!
