Overview of lessons taught
Scientific investigations may
take many different forms,
including:
 a. Observing what things are
like or what is happening
somewhere, collecting
specimens for analysis, and
doing experiments
 b. Clear and active
communication is an
essential part of doing
science. It enables scientists
to inform others about their
work, expose their ideas to
criticism by other scientists,
and stay informed about
scientific discoveries around
the world.
 c. Scientists use technology
to increase their power to
observe things and to
measure and compare things
accurately.
 d. Science involves many
different kinds of work and
engages men and women of
all ages and backgrounds.
 Differentiate between
habitats in different regions
in Georgia.
 Identify features of green
plants that thrive in different
regions.
 Explain what happens if a
habitat is changed.
