Description
Theme: Students examine changes in the garden over time and put into perspective the changes that occur over a short time and over a longer time.
Science Exploration: By exploring different time scales of change, students build on their understanding that the earth and its inhabitants are constantly changing. Students begin to recognize that the earth is very old and that by observing the earth and its life today, we can learn about how it was in the past.
Process Skills: Students synthesize what they have learned about changes in the garden and in nature and apply their learning to some garden problems.
