What do living things need to survive? Students will explore in their outdoor setting for animals in their habitat and generate a list of things found in the environment that support the life of the animals observed. In groups, students will identify the basic needs through a sticky note activity and then research these basic needs for the animals that appear in the fiction book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? As a culminating activity, students will tap their creativity and use humor to write and publish a silly science-based storybook using Book Creator (or other publishing tool) about the basic needs and thneeds (things that we might think we need, but don’t really need) of these animals.

Students brainstorm the negative impacts humans have on the earth and learn to call this term the carbon or ecological footprint. They then explore their outdoor space to identify both the negative and positive impacts humans have on the environment. Next, positive actions humans can take to make the planet sustainable are researched so that students can generate a list of things kids can do to sustain the earth. Students make and present posters of the things they will personally commit to doing. As an optional, but impactful activity, a tree is planted in the outdoor space, marking the commitment to continue to reduce ecological footprints and increasing ecological handprint, leading to a more sustainable planet.
