As you work together, you may look at our
circle map and tree map.
Let’s Summarize!
•
Look at the pictures on our tree map. Each
picture has a label telling what the object is.
•
Each of these objects is a living or nonliving
thing we saw in our terrarium.
•
In your science notebook, write down the
name of
one living thing
and
one nonliving

Explore the living and nonliving things in a terrarium through observations and discussions. Engage in activities like sorting picture cards and creating a tree map to understand the characteristics of living organisms. Reflect on the central question of whether plants and animals need the same things to live and grow. Encourage critical thinking and collaborative learning in exploring the diverse life forms within the terrarium.
