Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will briefly talk about when animals will breed/mate and it is included on the vocabulary for Migration. This is not talked about in detail but may prompt questions from students to parents.
Parent may need to help with two of the experiments.
In lesson 1 there will be boiling water being poured into a cup. Students may need help with this.
In lesson 2 students will probably need help spreading the crisco onto their hand as it can be tricky to do alone.
We will also be using games through Wordwall, for safety students can use just their first name, nick names or the first letter of their name. These review games are optional and parents can have students review vocabulary a different way at home.
We will also be using Kahoot for the assessment quizzes.
For accessing the certificate students will need to fill out a google form.
