Mollusca

On a recent trip home to WA a visit to the beach sparked some great interest and study of molluscs.

M and Lucy were fascinated by these chiton's that covered the rocks at the beach.



I made some cards for exploring the different types of molluscs, which can be found at my photobucket but I also made a PDF version which also includes some heading cards.

Australian Landmarks

Last week we started talking about landforms and it was really interesting to hear what the children had to say about iconic landforms. Lucy and Marco debated about the location of the Grand Canyon as well as its size. Bless Marco and his love of documentaries!

This lead to some considerable discussion (and heated debate - e.g. is there anything bigger than that Grand Canyon) which has led me to make some cards of iconic, natural Australian landmarks. Little Rogue will make use of these just as three part cards (unless something strikes her fancy), while Marco and Lucy can use these as a starting point for discussion and research.

I am debating as to whether to make a research card to go with these or not or if I should let the research be completely shaped by the children. I will decide tonight when laminating these!

P.S. This is my "Oceania" album which also contains New Zealand animals at the moment.




Update: I have made my research cards available

Invertebrate Sorting

Today I added some images to my photobucket for the various phylum of invertebrates for sorting.



I thought I would also share my PDF version in case that is easier for anyone who is interested.
