SCIENCE (1hr):

This is a 2 part lesson. Part 1 Monday and Part 2 on Thursday.

  1. You are learning about Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers today, as well as Carnivores, Herbivores, and Omnivores. Pay close attention to those bolded words! That means they are important to know!
    1. Video - Watch Me!

Head over to Epic and read the following three books if you need to practice your reading. If they are too difficult for you, you can come back here and watch my recording on "What is an Omnivore?". However, these books are all within most of your reading levels, many might find them somewhat easy for you. 

Remember, you are reading for information. That means you are learning important information as you go. Do not rush or race. Stop and make sure you understood what the page said before carrying on!

For your own reading pleasure and practice:
What is a Carnivore? - Click here
What is a Herbivore? - Click here
What is an Omnivore? - Click here - Video Version - Click here


So, did you learn what the following terms: Carnivore, Herbivore, Omnivore, Producer, Consumer, and Decomposer? You will need them for Thursday's lesson, so if you don't know what they mean yet, go back and watch again, otherwise move on to your next task!
