This document provides instructions for a leaf identification activity. Students will collect 5 different leaves over the weekend. In class, they will research the characteristics of each leaf and develop a classroom leaf book by placing each leaf and information about it into a sheet protector in a binder. The goals are for students to develop skills in identifying leaves and learn about careers involving the environment such as horticulturalist, biologist, and ecologist.

Photos blog unit 2 science
The students went on a science trip to the park to observe and identify the different parts of trees by touching and feeling the textures of the tree trunks. They classified leaves by shape and did an experiment to see how plants absorb water by using red colored water, which was then visible on the leaves after a few days. They also learned how insects help plants reproduce and acted out pollination using cheetos as pollen and constructing insect costumes with ear plug legs.
Photos blog unit 2 science
The students went to the park to observe, touch, and classify the different parts of trees, including tree trunk textures. They conducted an experiment using colored water to learn how plants absorb water through their leaves. They also learned how insects help plants reproduce by using Cheetos to represent pollen and giving their insect drawings earplug legs.
Biomes In A Box Project
The Biomes in a Box project aims to familiarize students with different biomes. Students will create a 2-page paper, climatograph, and biome box. The paper and box must include biotic and abiotic factors of the biome such as elevation, climate, plants, and animals. Students will present their project components in groups and the project will be graded using a rubric.
Leaf identification based on fuzzy c means and naïve bayesian classification
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a method for leaf identification using image processing and machine learning techniques. The method involves preprocessing leaf images, extracting geometric features, clustering similar leaf images using Fuzzy C-means clustering, and classifying leaves into clusters using Naive Bayesian classification. Feature extraction calculates properties like aspect ratio, roundness, principal axes, and leaf vein patterns. Clustering groups similar leaves, and classification identifies an unknown leaf's cluster with Bayesian probability. The goal is automatic plant identification to help monitor endangered species.
final year project_leaf recognition
This document discusses leaf recognition through analyzing algorithms like the multi-scale distance matrix and backpropagation neural network. It aims to develop an efficient leaf recognition system with optimal accuracy and a user-friendly application. The multi-scale distance matrix algorithm takes the leaf edge into account to classify leaves by creating distance matrices. A neural network can forecast and classify using input, hidden and output layers along with an activation function. The application will process uploaded leaf images, compare them to a training dataset, and output the matching leaf or a failure message.

Assess the school yard
This document provides guidance for assessing outdoor study sites for nature education. It discusses examining sites for the presence of plants, animals, and other natural elements. Key components to assess include trees, grassy areas, and other common plants that can offer learning opportunities. Even without much greenery, nature can be introduced through additions like logs, bird feeders, or water features. When assessing animals, signs like tracks, scat, food sources, and homes can be studied if live animals are not visible. The document emphasizes finding opportunities within the available space and highlighting common elements at each site.

October week 2
This document outlines the weekly activities and curriculum focused on studying trees for the week of October 7-11. Each day includes a large group activity, discussions, songs, read-alouds, and small group options related to trees. The small group activities involve sorting and classifying tree parts, measuring trees, and creating art about trees. Families are encouraged to take nature walks to observe trees in their neighborhood and share childhood tree experiences. Two special events are a field trip to Apple Hill and an intergenerational group meeting in the auditorium. The overall goals are to explore what is known about trees and questions students have about trees.

1. The document describes a learning activity where children independently arrange cut-out plant parts on a felt board to learn about plant structure.
2. The activity allows children to touch and move the parts to learn the location of each part and reinforce that the root is below ground while the stem, leaves and flowers are above ground.
3. By physically arranging the parts, children engage in constructive learning and develop small motor skills while learning the names and functions of the root, stem, leaves and flowers.
The Oak Tree
The document provides information about the cork oak tree (Quercus suber), including its characteristics, uses of cork harvested from its bark, and where it is commonly found. Specifically, the cork oak is an evergreen oak native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa. Its thick, corky bark can be harvested every 10-12 years without harming the tree and regenerates. Cork is used commonly for bottle stoppers and in various other applications. Cork oak forests are widespread in Mediterranean countries like Spain.

Each lesson plan includes reading a book, discussing it with students, and doing a related hands-on activity to reinforce a science standard. The books are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, The Day the Goose Got Loose by Reeve Lindberger, and Corduroy by Don Freeman. The activities include sorting animals, discussing why trees can't talk, demonstrating gravity, and classifying stuffed animals.
Bc le sbla_science_k-2_animalhabitats
This document provides the procedures for a 3-day standards-based learning activity where students will research animal habitats using an online database. On day 1, students will choose an animal and find pictures of it online. On day 2, they will research the habitat of their animal and get into groups based on habitat. On day 3, each group will create a habitat collage and include cut-out pictures of animals that live there. The activity aims to teach students about how animals' features help them live in different environments.
The giving tree
This lesson plan introduces young students to poetry and the life cycle of apples through the book The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. Students will read and discuss the story, ask questions about it, examine different types of apples, and make apple prints. They will then learn about the life cycle of apple seeds by examining, counting, and discussing what will grow from the seeds. To assess learning, students will draw and label the stages of an apple's life cycle.
Standard Indicator Activity 2
This document discusses how animals have adapted traits that help them survive in their environments. It provides examples of arctic and desert animals with adaptations like fur or ways to stay cool. The activity has students collect lentils with different utensils to simulate how animal adaptations help them catch prey more effectively. The spoon collects the most lentils, simulating how certain traits are better adapted for survival.
Nurserelatedinjuries
Nurses experience a high rate of work-related injuries, especially musculoskeletal injuries affecting the back, shoulders, knees, wrists, neck, and ankles, which can result from patient handling or repetitive motions. Other common injuries include skin wounds, falls/slips, needle sticks, and psychological stress. Musculoskeletal injuries have the highest costs averaging $6,710 per injury with 25 days lost, while needle sticks average $362 per injury with 1 day lost. Preventative measures include using lifting aids, following weight limits, ensuring safe equipment and walkways, and implementing stress-reducing techniques.
Letter%20to%20 endia
This letter is meant to encourage Endia to pursue her lifelong desire to become a teacher. It notes that from a young age, Endia admired her excellent teachers and enjoyed pretending to teach. Though she pursued other careers, Endia realized she is suited for environments that encourage learning and interacting with children. The letter expresses that Endia has a natural ability to positively influence children and hopes to provide them with the skills and education to become engaged members of society.
