I Can Be a Biologist

Biologists study living things—from the tiniest cells to the largest ecosystems. In I Can Be a Biologist, children investigate the natural world around them, asking questions, making discoveries, and learning what it means for something to be alive.

• Is It Alive?
  Children explore the basic characteristics of living and nonliving things through hands-on experiments, real-world objects, and group investigations. They learn how to ask questions like a scientist and look for signs of life.

• Nature Showdown: Animal vs. Plant
  This week is all about sorting, comparing, and noticing the differences and similarities between animals and plants. Through engaging games and nature-inspired challenges, kids learn what makes something an animal or a plant—and why both are important.

• Microscopic Magic
  Children take a peek into the hidden world of cells—the building blocks of life. Through models, simple tools like magnifiers, and hands-on activities, they learn that even the tiniest parts of nature are full of wonder.

• Discovering Nature
  From soil and leaves to bugs and bark, children investigate the natural materials all around them. Whether it's an outdoor scavenger hunt or a close-up look at seeds and shells, this unit invites curious minds to observe and appreciate the environment.

Whether indoors or out, these lessons help young biologists build observation skills, vocabulary, and a deeper respect for the living world around them.
