7 ORGANISMS ARE ORGANIZED ON A CELLULAR BASIS AND HAVE A FINITE LIFE SPAN

Worksheet 2: What else do you know?

WORKSHEET Workshop

Teaching aids:

Worksheet

Procedure:

The teacher requests the students to change the worksheet: “Write additional examples that you also know in this (the next) table!” If the students have no idea what to add, the teacher encourages them to think about a special situation or location (e.g. the zoo or a previous class trip) and the inanimate and animate things there.

In this worksheet, the existing knowledge of the children should be activated and tested. Furthermore, they have the chance to reflect on known examples of life and should strength the connection to their actual and individual experiences.

What is alive?What is not alive?

The instruction can be varied in different ways:

  • instead of writing down the examples, they can also be painted on

  • instead of free thinking:
    – introduce another image 
    – search things in the classroom and in school

  • instead of each student alone:
  • - a group of students together
