Woodside students are doing research on the lifecycle of plants and animals. Second and third grade students are using Enchanted Learning to get facts on frogs and will then begin writing an informational paragraph. Fourth and fifth grade students are focusing on the science standards for the life cycle of plants and animals and are doing various web quests and activities to hone in on these skills. Our science table is host to various exoskeletons and shells of animals that molt. Here is a picture of the molted exoskeleton of a tarantula.
