Grey Squirrels: Year 1 Science Projects

Squirrels: Year 1 Science Projects

Although the photos are of grey squirrels, the lesson notes can equally apply to red squirrels.

The Squirrels' Year 1 Science project is ideal for a mini topic. Use our Lesson notes to help you plan lessons.

I like to help teachers use creatures that are commonly seen by children to explore the natural world, which is the building block of science.

By using creatures with which children are familiar, we can cover much of the science curriculum in a way that the children will remember. Science lessons can be transformed as both pupils and teachers become engaged in the project, asking questions to stimulate further enquiry.

Lesson objectives:

• Help your pupils to learn about squirrels

• to describe squirrels, learn about their anatomy a

• Learn about the squirrel's habitat

• Learn about the squirrel's behaviour

• To encourage pupils to compare squirrels with other animals they may have seen or studied.
