I have a new PowerPoint show available in the Members Only PowerPoint section, featuring Living & Nonliving Things. The show is based on PacMan’s 4th grade science curriculum.
It is fully animated, showing answers upon clicks. First, we review the 5 basic life functions that help determine if something is living or not.
Next, we review what living things are made of and list in the order from simple to complex…
Finally, we review by categorizing living and nonliving things. I took the examples from his text and assessments and honestly we were all thrown by the virus example. I had to do some research on that one, we {a few adults who were over at the time} all thought a virus was living. According to his science book it is not. Learn something new everyday when homeschooling!
Fun side note-I took all of the photos on the opening slide while we were camping recently!!! He loved seeing photos he recognized in his schoolwork!
With Calvert PacMan takes an assessment every 20 lessons. These shows are used as his review before he takes the assessment. He also has to take standardized testing at the end of this year for science and I plan to use the shows to review for this in the end! He is using this text for Calvert 4th grade science. This particular show was created to go along with the Plant & Animal Cell show…
