Presentation of animal homes.

Objective: Remembering that animals are living things, students will determine the differences between sounds that are alive vs. sounds that are not alive.

Activity: Come back into the classroom and brainstorm all the sounds that were heard outside. Show pictures and/or discuss concepts of alive and not alive. In groups or with partners, take five minutes to talk about the sounds that were heard. Make a chart listing the sounds that were alive in one column and the sounds that were not alive in another column. Each group will report its findings to rest of the class. (To challenge older students, discuss the needs of living things, i.e., food, water, air, etc.)

Assessment: Participation of students and their ability to rename at least one sound from outside.
