• Description: S3L1 Students will
investigate the habitats of different
organisms and the dependence of
organisms on their habitat.
• Elements:
a. Differentiate between habitats of
Georgia (mountains, marsh/swamp,
coast, Piedmont, Atlantic Ocean) and
the organisms that live there.
d. Explain what will happen to an
organism if the habitat is changed.
Review
Habitats, Ecosystems, and Environments
Example
• All the living and nonliving
things that interact in a
place
• Everything around a
living thing
• The place in an
ecosystem where an
animal or plant lives
What it is
• Ecosystem
• Environment
• Habitat
What are the 5 habitats in the
state of Georgia?
1. Mountains
2. Piedmont
3. Coastal Plain
4. & 5. Atlantic Ocean
and Wetlands
Describe each habitat…
Mountains
Land that rises to a point
Coastal Plain
Area near an ocean that is
low and flat
Piedmont
Land that has a lot of hills
Atlantic Ocean
Ocean on the east side of
Georgia
Wetland
Covered with water most of
the time
Examples: marshes, ponds,
bogs, and swamps
Click here to learn about the
environment in a walk
across…Georgia
Every environment is in balance.
Being in balance means there are
just enough of each kind of
living thing. If there were too
many plants or animals, the
environment would not be in
balance.

•
Persuasive writing is a type of writing
where your main goal is to persuade or
convince someone to do something that
you want them to do. A form of
persuasive writing is a letter written to
someone telling him or her a complaint
that you have. In order to write a
persuasive letter you need to have
reasons why the person should do what
you are suggesting.
•
Try to make your letters or pieces of
writing as convincing as you can! Give
reasons to support your cause and
explain what the consequences will be if
the things you are listing aren't
done. Lastly, your conclusion should
restate what you are trying to persuade
the person to do.
Let’s Break it down!
Things to think about….
•
Purpose: I want to argue in favor of
:_______________.(What do I hope to
accomplish? Why is it important? What
problems would be eliminated? How
would other people be affected?
•
About you: Why do you want to argue
in favor of ________________? What
makes your opinion important? How
would the decision affect you?
•
About your reader: I need to convince
__________________________. (Who
is the person that has the power to
change the situation? Why would they
not want to listen to your idea?)
Here are some ideas to start
with:
• I want to argue for better air
to breath.
• I want Allatoona Lake to be
cleaner.
• I want to argue for more
recycling centers in our school.
• I want less trees to be cut
down in Georgia.
• I think we should be able to
recycle for free.

whole numbers and develop the ability to apply it in problem solving.
• Elements:
a. Describe the relationship between addition and multiplication, i.e., multiplication is
defined as repeated addition.
b. Know the multiplication facts with understanding and fluency to 10 x 10.
d. Understand the effect on the product when multiplying by multiples of 10.
f. Use mental math and estimation strategies to multiply.
g. Solve problems requiring multiplication.
Dear Lorax,
How can we learn about math from you?
Let’s
find
out!!
The Once-ler's new machine let him chop
down trees four times as fast! If he was
chopping down 25 trees per day, how many
could be chopped now? What if he were
chopping down 50? 65? 85? 100?
25 trees 4
times as fast?
50 trees 4
times as fast?
85 trees 4
times as fast?
65 trees 4
times as fast?
100 trees 4

a multiplication problem!
Did you know that multiplication is
repeated addition?

The beautiful, green Wump World has been

Pollutus. They have taken over the Wump’s
world and destroyed their environment! In
order to help the Wump’s survive, we must
take a closer look at their environment as
well as our own.
