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 • Feels like

– Sounds 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 PieceOne picture puzzle piece

Lyin’ on the sidewalk,One picture puzzle piece

Soaking in the rain.It might be a button of blueOn the coat of the woman

Who lived in a shoe.It might be a magical bean,

Or a fold in the redVelvet robe of a queen.

It might be the one little biteOf 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 bellyOf Bobo the bear.

It might be a bit of the cloakOf the Witch of the West As she melted to smoke.

It might be a shadowy traceOf a tear that runs down an angel’s face.

Nothing has more possibilitiesThan 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 TasksHow did you use Cooperation? How did you CHANGE

something today?

How many fish did you catch? Why do these fish need the water to be a certain pH? What affects the pH?

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 non-native plants are there? Brainstorm here!
