My Project
During our school year, students will learn about living things, including plants and animals. The science modules we receive from the district come with guppies, tetras, and snails. If we had a fish tank, it would provide the students with a hands-on learning experience and teach them how to care for living things throughout the entire school year!
Even the smallest of pets enhances our well-being!
This project will provide each student in our class with the opportunity to learn how to care for living things. Some students never get the opportunity to care for a pet or animal at home. Hopefully having class pets will help all students have a sense of pride and ownership.
Students will have the opportunity to investigate each of the animals living in the fish tank. They will be able to observe them up close and have discussions about what living things need and the best way to take care of them. This project can make a huge impact on their understanding of living things.
