In this course for ages 6-8, with the assistance of older siblings, we played games, studied animals, classified them into birds, fish, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, learned where they lived around the world, graphed the varying sizes of mammals (including the human students in our classroom), and made fantastic creatures from clay and from found objects such as pipe-cleaners, feathers, and toilet-roll cores.

Research Displays on Animals
Students researched an animal of their choice and wrote down four facts. These facts were turned into questions and answers, or illustrated, and displayed on four small sheets of colored cardstock. We glued the cardstock to strands of yarn and separated the cards with colored beads. Here are research displays on: the sea otter by Laura, the komodo dragon by Mason, the peacock by Sophie, the wolf by Ben, and the whale (teacher's example).
