The FOUNdATION OF VArIQUeST LeArNINg MOdULeS

VariQuest supports educators by providing countless opportunities to introduce a variety

of visuals and hands-on manipulatives into their classrooms. The use of visuals in the

classroom helps students understand and retain information, specifically abstract concepts.

Visuals can also help bridge the gap for students who struggle with vocabulary and/or

language barriers. hands-on manipulatives create learning experiences in which students

interact with knowledge kinesthetically. research shows that exposing students to a variety

of learning experiences, including visual and kinesthetic, will increase student retention and

help students learn to construct meaningful knowledge from information. The VariQuest

Visual Learning Tools enhance classroom teachers’ ability to provide learning experiences

that meet the learning styles of all students.

The aim of the following Learning Activities is to coordinate the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools

with lessons and activities that incorporate visual and hands-on learning strategies to reinforce

basic skills and provide fun and motivational activities that will supplement your school’s

curriculum. For best practices and additional information on how to customize VariQuest posters,

banners, flashcards, awards, cutouts and manipulatives, review the VariQuest Implementation

guide prior to use.

For the following learning activities, use construction paper for all cutouts unless otherwise

specified. Pre-laminating construction paper using a cold laminator adds durability to cut out

letters, shapes, numbers and collections.

LIFe SCIeNCe 1 OVerVIeW

This module focuses on the major groups of animals (mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians,

and insects), and how and why we classify them. Students will begin by looking at the differences

between vertebrates and invertebrates; they will learn the characteristics of each group of animals

and what makes them different from each other. They will learn how to recognize the differences

among the groups. Students will understand what a habitat is, what the characteristics of different

habitats are, and how different groups of animals can live in the same habitat. Finally, students will

begin to understand that certain groups of animals have a life cycle that is very different from the

one they are most familiar with: mammals. The learning activities in this VariQuest Learning Module

are designed to meet educational standards in innovative and creative ways. Before turning to the

learning activities, familiarize yourself with general information that will guarantee ease of use and

flexibility.

ASSeSSMeNTFollowing the learning activities, you will find a rubric that can be used to guide you in making

observational assessments of students’ abilities related to the objectives outlined in the learning

activities. It is recommended that you make a copy for each student to guide your ongoing

informal assessments, making anecdotal notes on the back when appropriate.

VArIQUeST CONTeNTYou will find a complete list of all of the content included in this module between the rubric

and Work Order template. The content Id #s (ex. VIS001) for content referenced in the learning

activities are listed in the materials section for each activity and are color-coded to help distinguish

between templates for the Poster Maker (red) and Awards Maker (purple) and cutouts and

collections for the Cutout Maker (gold).

WOrK OrderSYou will also find a work order template on the last page of the Activity guide. This template

can be photocopied and used for placing orders for customized VariQuest posters, banners,

stickers, awards, cutouts and collections. It is designed to be submitted to the primary user of the

VariQuest Visual Learning Tools by those who may not have direct access to them.

Whole class

review background on scientific classification. Write this information on

the chalkboard.

1. Classification is the arrangement of objects, ideas, or information into

groups, the members of which have one or more characteristics in

common.

2. Classification makes things easier to find, identify, and study.

Brainstorm with students all the different ways they could classify the

members of their class so that they would have enough information to

pinpoint a specific student. examples include: neighborhoods; clubs

students belong to; after-school activities students participate in;

instruments they play (including no instrument); shoes they wear; eye

color, etc.

explain that each group is going to use what is called a hierarchy chart. It

will allow them to organize their information about the class, but may not

lead them to classify all the students in the class. They should classify as

many as they can.

cooperative Groupsdivide students into four groups. give each group a hierarchy Chart

Banner.

Challenge groups to come up with a plan for classifying as many of the

students in the class as they can, using the hierarchy Chart Banner.

Students make up their own criteria for classifying the students in the

class. Check and make sure each group has a different set of criteria.

Students use their criteria to create a hierarchy Chart Banner for their

class and give a brief presentation to explain their classification.

DIVIDInG tHe AnIMAL KInGDoM

Cut the following 10 animals: Worm, Bee, Caterpillar, Centipede,

Cockroach, Firefly, Mosquito, rattlesnake, Sparrow and Starfish out of

cardstock. Make one set of 10 animals for each pair of students.

Whole class

review that the biggest categories scientists have created for classifying

animals are vertebrates and invertebrates: animals with backbones and

animals without backbones. read through the information and examples

of invertebrates on the chart.

Partnershave students play “Backbone, Yes? Backbone, No?,” in pairs. give

each pair a set of flashcards and cutouts. The Invertebrate and Vertebrate

flashcards sit face up on a desk. The other flashcards and cutouts are in a

pile face down.

One student turns over a flashcard or a cutout and the students have to

slap the appropriate card: vertebrate or invertebrate. Whoever hits the

correct card first, wins. If both hit the correct card, the student who hits it

first is the winner. If both hit the incorrect answer, the flashcard or cutout

goes back into the pile.

The student who hits the correct card first, gets to keep the cutout or

flashcard. Students who hit the correct card at the same time put the

cutout or flashcard back in the pile.

The teacher makes the final decisions about whether the animal is a

vertebrate or an invertebrate.

MoDIFIcAtIon

Students use flashcards and cutouts

from above to sort the animals into two

groups: vertebrates and invertebrates.

WHIcH oF tHese Is not A MAMMAL?

Whole class gather students around the Animal Classification Chart; review the list of

characteristics and decide which ones are characteristics of mammals.

Invite volunteers to write the correct answers in the Mammals column.

Look at the animal cutouts around the Animal Classification Chart.

Challenge students to state which ones are NOT mammals. As students

correctly choose the animals that are NOT mammals, they may come up

and remove the cutout of that animal. Tell the students the name of the

animal they’ve chosen and ask the student his or her reasons for stating

that this animal is not a mammal.

At the end of the game, connect the mammal cutouts, with yarn, to the

word Mammals on the Animal Classification Chart.

Mammals are: Chimpanzee, gorilla, Camel, Jackrabbit, humpback Whale,

Bighorn Sheep, and Prairie dog.

MoDIFIcAtIon

Ask students to draw in the details

of each of the mammal cutouts, as

accurately as possible. They may need

to look up the animals online or in

research books.

extensIon

Using the Venn diagram: Org032

(Basic), ask students to list all the

mammal cutouts and find sets of

characteristics that the mammals have

in common, and others that they do

not share. For example, a humpback

whale is a mammal that lives in the

ocean. have them fill out the Venn

diagram, showing the similarities and

differences among the mammals.

have students use one of the bird

cutouts to trace or draw a picture

of the bird. Then have them write a

caption that explains the characteristics

of the bird’s beak.

have students use a bird-watching

guide to sort the birds commonly found

in your part of the country by beak

structure. Ask them, “What does each

bird eats? What if that food source

disappeared?”

B I R D s

Wild Turkey, California Quail, Tufted Titmouse, Cactus Wren, and house

Wren out of white cardstock. display the cutouts around the Animal

Classification Chart. do not write the names of the birds on them.

Cut out several versions of one bird from each category of beaks to

give to students at the end of the activity. All students should have a

cutout bird from their category to take home.

Whole classgather students around the Animal Classification Chart; review the list of

characteristics and decide which ones are characteristics of birds.

Invite volunteers to write the correct answers in the Birds column.

review with students the idea that all animals have different structures that

are used for different purposes. Look at the list of beak types and types of

foods birds eat and have student volunteers explain why each beak type

would be ideal to catch each type of food.

cooperative Groupsdivide students into eight groups. Assign a category of beaks or bills to

each group of students. groups meet to decide which of the 23 bird

cutouts belong in their group.

Once students have collected their birds according to the descriptions of

their beaks (or bills), ask students to predict what each of their birds eats

and why. Then challenge students to research their predictions. Were they

correct? If no, they need to find out what food their birds do eat. Then

they can do further research to find out what the beak type does for the

bird and why those characteristics of a beak would be helpful to the bird

in catching and eating food. Ask students to use art materials to add

important details about the beak on the cutout birds.

each group reports their findings to the class. Collect the decorated birds

from each group and connect them to the word Birds on the Animal

Classification Chart. At the end of the presentations, each group receives

a cutout bird representative of their group.

R e P t I L e s o n PA R A D e

Invite volunteers to write in the correct information in the reptiles column.

cooperative Groupsdivide students into four groups, then pass out one hierarchy Chart

poster, several Circle Word Bubble and reptile cutouts to each group. Say,

“Let’s look at all the different reptiles we’ve got here. They look so different.

Some have legs, some don’t, some have shells, some don’t. What do you

think it means?”

give students time to think and discuss as a group. Circulate around the

room, asking students questions to help guide discussion, if necessary.

Note: we want students to understand that these reptiles live in different

climates under different conditions and their body parts have evolved to

help them survive.

Ask students to divide their reptiles into subgroups, based on observable

characteristics. They can choose the characteristics they think distinguish

one group of reptiles from another. They can choose the number of

subgroups of reptiles they create. Make sure students have enough time

to illustrate their cutout reptiles. have reptile reference books with detailed

photos available.

When students have finished, discuss as a class which characteristics

each group chose and why. Which body parts did they use? Why?

discuss the number of subgroups they created and why. If the groups

wish to make any changes to their subgroups, give them time to do so.

have them record the subgroups they created on their hierarchy Chart

poster. have students write phrases to describe the reptiles, based on the

subgroups, on the word bubble cutouts, such as “We have shells.” or “We

don’t have legs.” Then have students create a display in the hallway or on

a bulletin board using the reptiles, word bubbles and charts. encourage

students to add decorations to give the display a parade atmosphere.

MoDIFIcAtIon

Write the name of each reptile on an

index card. give students a set of

index cards and reptile cutouts. have

them use reference books to match

each reptile to the correct name,

then write a short paragraph about

the characteristics reptiles have in

common.

extensIon

give students an alligator and a

crocodile cutout. have them find out

the difference between alligators and

crocodiles and explain the difference to

the class, with diagrams and pictures.

Insects – WHo AM I?

MoDIFIcAtIon

give students the following insect

cutouts: Black Fly, Cockroach,

Mosquito, and Praying Mantis, and an

8 ½” x 11” copy of the Insect diagram.

have students use the diagram

to color the parts of each insect a

different color.

extensIon

Students have a lot of misconceptions

about insects. Some common

misconceptions include:

There is no difference between

bugs and insects.

You can tell the age of a ladybug

by counting the spots on its wings.

It is illegal to harm a praying

mantis.

Insects drown in water.

Bees gather honey from flowers.

Spiders are insects.

Challenge students to find out the

truth along with the details about one

of these misconceptions. Invite each

student to the bulletin board and use

the insect cutouts to explain the truth

about each of the misconceptions.

Whole classreview with students some statistics about insects.

1. There are over one million species of insects.

2. All insects have an exoskeleton (they are invertebrates), a thorax, a

head, an abdomen, and six legs. Point out these different parts of an

insect on the Insect diagram poster.

3. Of all the invertebrates, there are almost four times as many insect

species as all other invertebrates combined.

4. A Canadian biologist estimates that there are one quintillion individual

insects on earth. That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.

IndividualTo prepare for the “Who Am I?” game, have each student choose a

different insect to investigate. In some cases, more than one student may

need to research the same insect. Make sure students know the name of

the insect they choose. have students find the answers to the following

questions:

1. What is the most unusual thing about your insect?

2. Where in the world does your insect live?

3. What is its habitat (e.g., lake, desert, forest, rain forest, ocean,

other)?

4. What does it eat?

5. What makes it different from all the other insects?

Ask students to add color and other detail to their insect to make it look as

realistic as possible, then label the parts of the insect. display the insects

on the bulletin board.

Students then use their research to write a few

facts about their insect from the insect’s point of

view on a piece of paper.

Students take turns reading their “Who Am I?”

statements about their insect to the class. The

class tries to guess which insect it is. When a

student guesses correctly, he or she can walk up

to the bulletin board and take down the cutout for that insect. The

student with the most cutouts at the end of the game is the winner.

ACTIVITY eIghT

Habitat Hustle objectives Students know that an animal’s patterns of behavior are related to the

nature of that animal’s environment (e.g., kinds and numbers of other

organisms present, availability of food and resources, and physical

characteristics of the environment).

Materials

Preparation Print the following posters: Lake habitat, rain Forest habitat, and Forest

habitat, two of each. display one of each habitat poster, next to each

other, on one classroom wall. On the opposite wall display the other set

of three posters.

Cut the following forest animals: White Tailed deer, Quail, Firefly 2,

Snake and Salamander, out of cardstock. Make two sets.

Cut the following lake animals: Tortoise, Common Loon, dragonfly,

Beaver, Toad and Musky, out of cardstock. Make two sets.

Write the name of one of the habitats and one of the classes of animals

onto each index card. For example, Lake Insect; Lake reptile; Lake

Mammal; Lake Fish: Lake Amphibian; Lake Bird. Create a set like this

for each of the three habitats. Note: there will not be a fish for the forest

habitat. Make two sets of 17 cards.

Whole class

review with students the meaning of a habitat. Say, “A habitat is the

place where a population lives. Several populations may share a habitat.

A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the

same place at the same time. All of the populations interact and form a

community. The habitat must supply the needs of organisms, such as

food, water, temperature, oxygen, and minerals.”

Point to one of the sets of posters and ask students to name the habitats

(lake, rain forest, forest). discuss the conditions in each of the habitats.

Tell students that they will be playing a game to match up different animals

to the correct habitat.

how to Play:

1. Scatter the animal cutouts on a table in front of the posters on either

side of the room.

2. Mix up the index cards and place them face down in a pile next to

the animal cutouts.

3. divide the class into two teams and have students line up behind

their team’s table.

4. The first person in line will pull one of the habitat/animal class cards

from the pile, find the correct animal cutout, place it on the correct

habitat poster, then walk to the end of the line.

5. Students may consult with other team members, if necessary.

6. Once all animal cutouts have been placed on the appropriate habitat

poster, have all students in the group sit down.

7. When all groups have finished, score each team. give each team

two points for each correctly placed animal and give five points

to the team that finished first.

Peregrine Falcon, Prairie dog, rattlesnake, Scorpion, and Centipede,

out of cardstock.

divide the both the Ocean and desert animal cutouts into two groups

of seven, so you have four groups of animal cutouts.

Whole classreview with students what they have learned about habitats. explain

that they are now going to create an ocean habitat and a desert habitat

by doing some research on the animals that live there, making a mural of

each habitat, then placing the animals in their habitat. divide students

into four groups and assign groups one of the sets of animals.

cooperative GroupsStudents need to answer the following questions about their animals:

What does it eat?

Where does it sleep?

What else does it need to survive?

What class of animals does it fall in (mammal, fish, insect, bird,

reptile, amphibian)?

how is the animal adapted for life in its particular habitat?

have students research their animal and list everything that needs to

be present in their habitat mural based on their research. Then have the

two ocean groups and and two desert groups work together to create

one ocean mural and one desert mural on large pieces of butcher paper.

encourage students to use cutouts and other art materials to add color

and detail to their habitat mural.

Invite students to look at the life cycles

of other amphibians or insects and

compare them to frog or butterfly. how

are they the same and how are they

different? have them create a life cycle

diagram for the animal and present it to

the class.

Whole classreview with students the life cycle that many insects and amphibians go

through by holding up the pieces of the butterfly and/or frog life cycle and

naming the stages as you show what they look like.

Tell students that you are going to give them an opportunity to show what

they know about a frog’s life cycle and a butterfly’s life cycle by putting

together the pieces in the right order. Warn students that the stages of a

frog’s life cycle have different names than the stages of a butterfly’s life cycle.

cooperative Groupsdivide the class into four groups and give each group an envelope with the

butterfly and frog life cycle cutouts inside. Tell them that you are going to

time them as they work together to put the two life cycles together in the

proper order, separating the frog life cycle from the butterfly life cycle.

As each group finishes, note their time and check to make sure they’ve

assembled it correctly. Later in the week, try this activity again to see if

each group can beat its time.

IndividualStudents should choose either the butterfly or the frog life cycle to write a

paragraph that explains the different stages of the animal’s life cycle.
