Living State Symbols of Arizona Lesson Plan
The lessons in this unit were designed to present an integrated approach to learning. Not only will the students be introduced to science concepts dealing specifically with the state symbols.
Level: 4th Grade
Overview
In 1901, the saguaro blossom was selected as the first symbol of Arizona. Over the next one hundred years, seven other living organisms would also be selected to represent the state. This unit is designed to lead you and your students on a wonderful adventure through Arizona with several paths. To start, download the “Living State Symbols of Arizona” PowerPoint that uses an interactive clue game to introduce your students to our living state symbols. Then, depending on your interests, choose one of four possible follow-up activities.
Lesson Summaries
Make sure to read through the lesson and determine what knowledge your students are expected to know before carrying it out with the students.
