Living Things Targeted Grade Level -- K Developed by Education Developmental Center, Inc. (EDC) Distributed by Optical Data Corporation

Living Things Module Overview

This module builds on the natural curiosity and excitement young children have for the natural world around them. Throughout the module, they observe the changes in a tree; examine the plants and animals living in and around the tree; and look at other living things nearby. Children think about and discuss the many needs of plants and animals and the dependence living things have on one another. Using these experiences, children build terraria in the classroom.
