Procedure/Outline |
| Using chart paper to record responses, ask the children what a pond is, what it looks like, smells like, sounds like and who uses a pond. Ahead of time, create a two sided coloring sheet using free hand drawings, stencils, clip art... . The one side should show the outline of a pond, surrounded by vegetation such as reeds, cattails, willows, rocks, grasses.... . The opposite side should show living things that use the pond, such as fish, turtles, birds, deer, ducks, people, dragonflies... . Following the chart discussion the children can color the pond side. They then flip and color the backside. The creature drawings should be positioned in and around the pond so that when you hold the pond side up to light, the pond creatures will appear. This might lead into life cycles, hibernation, recreation, hunting, pollution, habitat,fresh water/salt water and more. See modif. . |
Modifications/Adatption/Extensions |
| If possible the pond outline/vegetation drawing could be copied onto transparency sheets or sheets of vellum-with the paper pond creature sheet placed behind. |
