Don't forget the Science Time for 3rd grade on WEDNESDAY. You can click on this link to join the Google Meet session at any time from 3:00 to 4:00 and ask questions about this week's Science news or your assignments.
This is the last Science assignment for the year. Next week is the last week of school. I have had you working on structure and function for the last few weeks. Thinking about how something is built and why it works the way it does is hard. We can learn so much about living things and the world around us by questioning structure and function.
This last week I would like you to select a living thing - plant or animal- and think about how it's built and why it's built that way. Select something that is very unusual so that you can try to explain why it is so different.
As examples, think about a Venus flytrap, a plant that eats animals. How different than a normal plant!
Or think about a polar bear, all the special things about it like thick blubber, white hair, huge size.
Please write, in your own words, a description of your living thing and tell me about it's structure and what that structure does to help your plant or animal live.
