Students in Mrs. Lazarz's first grade class are studying how plants and animals use their structures to defend themselves from being eaten. Students used a clay ball to represent a living thing, and then used various materials to create structures to keep the comb, representing the predators teeth, from eating them. What a great way to explore some successful defense ideas!
