5th graders in Ms. Fava's class have been learning about food chains and food webs as part of their Ecosystems unit. The class visited the Media Center last week to use a great multimedia learning website from Scholastic called
Science Studyjams. On day 1, we watched this video on
Food Chains as a class. We paused the video often to discuss important ideas and vocabulary in collaborative pairs. Students also wrote about their learning in their science journals.
One day 2, students worked in collaborative pairs to watch the
Food Webs video. They made comparisons to the food chains video and extended their thinking about complex food systems and the environment. Great job, 5th graders!
The Studyjams videos are wonderful learning tools to help reinforce the Science essential standards. There are also videos available to support the
Math Common Core standards.
