Cooperation
• Cooperation is to work together towards a
common goal or purpose to get something
done. Working with cooperation can
change the outcome of a situation. We use
cooperation to help us learn more as well
as help others learn.
Cooperation
• Looks like
– Sounds like
• Feels like
– Draw a picture of
cooperation
Conceptual Key Point
Change is to transform a person,
place, thing or behavior into
something new or different.
Understanding that change never
ends, helps us adjust to ups and
downs of events in our world.
Change Reflection
• How did your area of the
room change?
• What other areas did you
see change?
• Do you like the changes?
Why or why not?
• What is your favorite
change?
Picture Puzzle Piece
One picture puzzle piece
Lyin’ on the sidewalk,
One picture puzzle piece
Soaking in the rain.
It might be a button of blue
On the coat of the woman
Who lived in a shoe.
It might be a magical bean,
Or a fold in the red
Velvet robe of a queen.
It might be the one little bite
Of the apple her stepmother
Gave to Snow White.
It might be the veil of a bride
Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.
It might be a small tuft of hair
On the big bouncy belly
Of Bobo the bear.
It might be a bit of the cloak
Of the Witch of the West
As she melted to smoke.
It might be a shadowy trace
Of a tear that runs down an angel’s face.
Nothing has more possibilities
Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.

Sibley Pond Procedures
• Stay with your “star” group.
• Follow the directions of the park ranger at
each area.
• Take two pictures and give the camera to
the next person on your list.
• Use cooperation while you are working
with your group.
• Enjoy your time at the pond!
Learning Tasks
How did you use
Cooperation?
How many fish did you
catch? Why do these
fish need the water to
be a certain pH? What
affects the pH?
How did you CHANGE
something today?
How many macro
invertebrates did you find?
Why are they important to
our native plants?
Key Point
• Native plants of Georgia are important to
our area. They grow well because they get
the correct temperature, water amounts
and the soil and water pH is natural to this
area. When non-native plants change an
area, native plants are unable to grow
which is harmful to the animals that need
those plants.
Immersion area
• What ideas do you have for the immersion area? What
does the pond look like when native plants and animals
are there? What does the pond look like when nonnative plants are there? Brainstorm here!
