By examining video clips and still photographs of a variety of objects and organisms, students gather evidence and develop criteria to decide if something is living or nonliving. This lesson is appropriate for students in all elementary grades. Use these resources to create a simple assessment or video-based assignment with the Lesson Builder tool on PBS LearningMedia. Young children often have difficulty characterizing things as living or nonliving.
For example, they tend to describe anything that moves as alive. 1. 2. What are some characteristics of living things? Write all ideas down. 3. 4. K.2_living_and_non_living_inquiry.pdf.

Air and Weather student workshop (Victoria) Information for teachers about the Air and Weather program for students from Foundation to Year 6. 23 July 2010 | Updated 24 July 2014 Description The Air and Weather student workshop explores our ongoing efforts to better understand air and the atmosphere.
We breathe it, condition it, use it, fly through it and pollute it. Air alters weather and climate and the physical environment. This show has close links to the VELS, covering topics such as atmospheric changes, environmental factors affecting survival and changes in states of matter. Students will view many of the following activities which demonstrate how: Details This session is suitable for students from Foundation to Year 6: Foundation to Year 2 the session runs for 30 minutes Years 3 to 6 the session runs for 60 minutes. Bookings are essential. For students from Foundation to Year 2 the costs are: For Years 3-6 the costs are: * A reduced minimum cost per day will apply for second and subsequent days Requirements.
