4th grade science and mentoring program

The area of study I chose is Fourth Grade Science—Classifying Species into Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds or Mammals. The students will visit the local zoo, study the different habitats, transportation mode (swim, walk, crawl), determine if animal is cold-blooded (ectothermic) or warm-blooded (endothermic), and other features that separate the different species.
Objectives:
1. Students will be able to classify different species into their classes: Fish, Amphibians, Birds, Reptiles, or Mammels
2. Student will be able to discuss various modes of transportation.
3. Students will gain knowledge about ectothermic and endothermic, how it applies to different species and which species are cold- or warm-blooded.
4. Students will be able to draw or create using materials like leaves, twigs, sand, dirt, etc to make the different habitats of the different species.
For my mentoring program, the objectives are:
1. Teens will iniate conversations
2. Teens will remain on topic
3. Teens will engage in 2-way conversations
4. Teens will be able to move from one topic to the next without using “comfort talking” in between.
