Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the concept of Earth Science through the lens of Pokemon.

Materials and Prep

- Pokemon cards or images of Pokemon characters

- Computer or tablet with internet access

- Prior knowledge of basic Pokemon characters and their elemental types

Activities

1. Pokemon Earth Science Match: Match Pokemon characters with their respective elemental types (e.g., Charmander with Fire type).

2. Pokemon Habitat Hunt: Research and discuss where different Pokemon characters might live in the real world based on their elemental types (e.g., water Pokemon near rivers or oceans).

3. Pokemon Weather Watch: Explore how different elemental types of Pokemon might react to different weather conditions (e.g., how a Grass type Pokemon would react to rain).

First Grade Talking Points

• Pokemon characters have different elemental types like fire, water, grass, and rock. Can you name a Pokemon character and its elemental type?
• Just like how different Pokemon characters live in different habitats, different animals and plants live in different places on Earth. Can you think of an animal that lives in the ocean?
• Weather can affect how Pokemon characters feel and behave. How do you feel when it's sunny outside? How about when it's raining?
