When you look at your lawn, what do you see?

Most look at a yard full of grass and simply see grass! Well there are many, many things living in the grass as well!

A fun activity for the students is to take a hula hoop outside, lay down on the lawn, and allow them to investigate.
-Look for other living things
-Look for non-living things
-Identify as much as possible

Now journal about what you saw before and after this activity.  Students will be amazed because a small 3 foot area is filled with different types of grass, weeds, insects, and many more!

This activity will take the students outside the classroom to explore. Students usually remember more information outside the classroom walls.  Allow your students to venture out and learn new things!

This allows teachers to integrate language arts in a science lesson :)
