Students will analyze two photographs concerning Alabama's second governor, Thomas Bibb, in order to construct meaning. Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and multiple plot lines, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters. Students will analyze the investigation to decide the type of change, chemical or physical, that occurred during the investigation. [1-OA4]. The students will create a landform using modeling clay in a small group setting. Students will use a cladogram to infer how a T. rex is related to modern organisms. cycling of matter between Earth's surface and deep interior causing plate In this lesson, students will explore animal adaptations for a variety of animals. The lesson content is connected to Alabama Course of Study SS2010 (4) which will explain why significant leaders of the Creek War disrupted the Alabama Creek Indian Headsmen and the government. being formed).
