Diversity of Living Things Grades 4-6

Help your students take a closer look at the world around  them. The topics in each component, as well as the components themselves, are best covered sequentially, however, each component may be used alone. At the beginning of each component is a brief overview of the component, the learning expectations for the activities, and suggestions for implementing the activities. The implementation suggestions are presented as ideas only. It is not intended that any or all need be implemented to use the activity pages. At the end of each component is a two-page quiz. Many of the activities can be integrated into other areas of the curriculum.
