Life Cycles: Lesson 2 Animal Needs Expectations: 1. Listen carefully 2. Work hard 3. Be responsible

Review: Scientists ask questions, make predictions, then test those predictions. We learned by observing chickens that they need; food, water, space/shelter, and air. We now want to know if other animals need the same things.

Good Scientists Ask Questions What do fish need to stay alive? What do you think, or predict, fish will need to stay alive?

Lets observe some fish: What did you observe the fish doing? What did you learn that they need?

Fish Need Food Different foods: Plants and/or animals But all fish still need some kind of food. What else did you observe that the fish need?

Fish need water Fish need water to swim. There is also something else in the water that they need. Do you have a prediction about what else is in the water they need?

Fish Need Air Fish need to breath too. Lets observe how fish breath in water. Is there anything else a fish needs?

A Fish Needs Space/Shelter Qp2Mpg mr-e7k What did these fish use for shelter? What happens if they don't have enough space?

Draw conclusions: What we learned Chickens need food, water, air, and space. Fish need food, water, air, and space also! What do we predict other animals will need? Food, water, air, and space/shelter

Good Scientists 1. Ask questions 2. Make predictions 3. Try to find the answer 4. Draw conclusions 5. Communicate findings I learned about chicken and fish needs. I wonder if all animals have the same needs?

Nest lesson we will look at the needs of people. What do WE need to stay alive?

Assignment: Complete the fish sections of the chart.

I had fun learning and working with you this lesson. Keep your eyes open, scientist! I will see you next lesson.
