Life Science

I just finished planning out science for the year yesterday.  I had looked at different curricula and the ones I really liked (Living Learning Books and Noeo Science) were ones which I thought I could pretty much plan out myself.  So that's what I did yesterday.  Here's are the topics I came up with: weather, seashore, fish, sea life, eggs, frogs, whales, seals, penguins, owls, eagles, John James Audubon, backyard birds, woods, trees, other habitats, Louis Pasteur, bacteria, fungi, human body, plants, leaves/roots/stems, seeds, flowers, and carnivorous plants.  I may also include insects somewhere.  And some of the fun experiments we will do include: making a cloud in a jar, making snacks for the birds and birdwatching, making a terrarium, and dissecting a real owl pellet.  We will also make a science notebook with all our summaries, experiment pages, coloring pages, and definition pages.  I think it'll be fun!
