Hello scientists! The online homework for Wednesday, October 10th is as follows:

Please go on the Internet and watch this video with a parent. Click on the link below and it will take you to the video.

As you watch, think about the different needs of living things. Here are a few questions I would like you to think about:

• Do all living things have have basic needs to survive?
• What do plants eat for food?
• Do all living things have basic needs to survive?
• How is the environment, or habitat, of a living thing effect it's survival?
• What are examples of living things? What are examples of non-living things?

After you have watched the video, please look out your window and write and draw one living and one non- living thing you see outside. Discuss with your parent what that living thing needs to survive, and how their survival needs may be different then yours (Does it eat peanut and jelly sandwiches like you? Does it sleep in a house?) Please bring your observations to school on Thursday and we will discuss as a class!

Thank you parents for your participation with this!

Remember that the annual Fall Festival is tomorrow! Come for fun, games, and friends!
