Resources for Teaching at Home

I have a few additional resources for moms who would like to do a more in-depth study at home. If you would like me to send the files listed below simply enter "Dissection Class Resource Files" in the subject line of an email and request the titles you would like. Several titles are also listed as links which will take you directly to the website.

I also have notebooking pages for each of the animals that you can use instead of purchasing a notebook. The pictures are shown in the order they will be used in class from right to left and top to bottom. Simply click on the following, then right click the enlarged pic and print the picture:

• File - Tadpole Transformation Puppets
  
• File - Amphibian Unit Studies
  
• File - Grasshopper Life Cycle Lesson Plan
  
• File - Butterfly Unit Studies
  
• File - Crawfish Lesson Plan
  
  Classification Links - many of these are games
  
• Link - Animal Characteristics Game
  
• Link - Animal Classification Game
  
• Link - Classification Game (Also provides information about classification)
  
• Link - What's My Class?
  
• Link - Rags to Riches Animal Classification
  
• Link - Animal Classification Jeopardy
  
• Link - Classifying Critters
  
  Frog Links
  
• Link - Free Frogs Lapbook
  
• Link - Life of a Frog
  
• Link - Weird Frog Facts
  
• Link - Aristotle and Frog Classification (kind of funny)
  
• Link* - Frog Dissection for 5th and 6th Grade
  
• Link* - Frog Dissection for 7th and 8th Grade
  * Please try to have your child complete this online dissection as many times as possible at home. Familiarity with the frog dissection will help them when we actually dissect the frog in class.
  Below is a list of self-scoring tests that you may use at home to prepare for frog dissection or to assess what your child has learned:
  
• Link* - Frog Test 1
  
• Link* - Frog Test 2
  
• Link* - Frog Test 3
  
• Link* - Frog Test 4
