JoinMolting Mania
Most students are unaware of the process of molting, but it is an animal characteristic they're sure to be interested in and should have the opportunity to observe. Through a two-month long unit on animal molting, kindergarteners observed pill bugs, crayfish, an anole, and an alligator lizard. Through these hands-on adventures, incorporating integrated topics, students observed how different animals grow and began to discover what it means to "be a scientist."
