The Second Great Lesson involves the coming of life. This lesson
revolves around the Timeline of Life, a long chart with pictures and
information about microorganisms, plants, and animals that have lived (or now
live) on the earth. The great diversity of life is emphasized, and special care
is paid to the "jobs" that each living thing does to contribute to
life on earth.
This lesson leads to the study of:
·
Biology: cells, organized groups, five kingdoms, specimens,
dissection, observation, use of microscope
·
Botany: study of plants, classification, functions, parts of
plants (seed, fruit, leaf, stem, root, flower), types of plants
·
Habitats: location, characteristics, food chains/webs,
symbiosis, adaptation, ecosystems, conservation
·
Ancient Life: eras of the earth, evolution, extinction, fossil
records, excavation
·
Animals: classification, needs, similarities/differences, human
systems, nutrition, hygiene
·
Monera, Protista, and Fungi Kingdoms: what they are,
classification, observation
