This unit study has you create a frog habitat using an aquarium. As your children learn about metamorphosis, they will enjoy watching it happen in real time. The lesson includes videos, worksheets, online resources, the scientific method and record keeping.
How does a frog breathe? Find out in this lesson plan.
Make science exciting for your grade-schooler. Science is such an important subject to learn. It helps make sense out of everyday lives. When children are young, they are curious about lots of things and science explains it. The concepts are easy for your to understand and explain to your child.
But as they grow, science becomes more difficult to learn and difficult to teach. The concepts grow more confusing. You might feel like you need to go out and buy expensive equipment if you are going to do any experiments.
It doesn’t need to be difficult. With Amazing Science Discovery, you will learn right along with your child. You get five ebooks covering grades one to five. Each book explains in plain English specific topics and includes easy experiments to help reinforce the topic. The lessons are planned in a sequential manner so that your will both be learning what you need to know for the next lesson.

Seasons of the Year
A song to sing to the tune of ”Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”
by Meish Goldish
CHORUS:
Here we go round the year again,
The year again, the year again.
Here we go round the year again,
To greet the different seasons..
Wintertime is time for snow.
To the south, the birds will go.
It’s too cold for plants to grow
Because it is the winter.
CHORUS
In the springtime, days grow warm.
On the plants, the new buds form.
Bees and bugs come out to swarm
Because it is the spring.
CHORUS
In summertime, the days are hot.
Ice cold drinks I drink a lot!
At the beach, I’ve got a spot
Because it is the summer.
CHORUS
Fall is here, the air is cool.
Days are short, it’s back to school.
Raking leaves is now the rule
Because it is autumn.
CHORUS
If you look in a mirror, the right side of your body is the same as the left side of your body. This is called symmetry. In animals, there are two types of symmetry: radial and bilateral.
Radial symmetry – think of a pie. You can cut a pie in half on many different lines, but the two sides will always be the same.
Bilateral symmetry – think of yourself. You can only divide a human in half down the middle to get a mirror image. You have a right side and a left side and they both look the same.
To learn more about symmetry, to go Great Math Games.
