FS – G7 Week 18

We added a new question to our Progress Tracker document today, How do most animals get bigger muscles?, and then brainstormed answers to it. In brainstorming answers to the question, C & D period students (combined) gave the following answers: First, students said “diet.” Second, they said, “exercise” and “activity.” Third, they said “genetics” and “DNA.” We used these answers as our new staring point for a return to a familiar topic: Cattle! We are about to dive deep into the world of cattle breeding, which is typically done by cattle farmers. We ended this lesson by creating a brand new Noticings & Wonderings table in our science notebooks with the title, “Farmer Interview.” In our next lesson, we will listen to a taped interview with a cattle farmer who raises cattle with extra-big muscles.
