Year 3- Science

Animals including Humans

This term in Year 3, we are going to be identifying that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat. We are also going to be identifying that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement.

This week in science we have been learning about animal classifications- Omnivores, Carnivores and Herbivores. We used a Venn diagram to classify different animals, after discussing what food they eat. 

What would happen if we had no skeleton?

What The Student Says

'' I love Science. I loved making bones out of clay and testing which materials made the best bones.'' '' Science is cool. You do fun experiments.''

What skills were developed?

* The children had an opportunity to identifty that animals, including humans, need the right types of nutrition by examining food groups and nutrient groups. They learnt the difference between food groups and their nutritional value. *They were taught appropriate scientific language and terms to communicate ideas and explain the behaviour of living things. *They learnt key facts about skeletons inside human and different animals.  They learnt to Identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons by investigating skeleton types and learnt  to sort animals based on their skeletons.

What the Teacher says

''I have really enjoyed teaching this topic and helping the children learn more about the human body. I am really impressed with how well they have understood key concepts and proud of how much they want to learn new things in science.''
