Animals: Classification & Adaptation Gr. 4-6


Book Description

Our comprehensive, four-part study of animals is sure to captivate student interest. Our unit starts off with a knowledge-based presentation of twenty-six terms necessary for a proper understanding of animals. Then, students learn the important characteristics of the major vertebrate families (groups) — fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals. Next, students investigate some of the ways that animals have adapted to suit their environments. Finally, students complete a major project where they write a report on an animal. This Animal Science lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of reading passages, activities, crossword, word search, colouring book and answer key to create a well-rounded lesson plan.

Classification & Adaptation Gr. 5-8


Book Description

Delve deep into ecosystems by classifying the beings that live there. Our resource breaks down the different kinds of animals before studying their different adaptations. Start off by answering the question: what do we classify? Then, break down this classification into kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and finally species. Compare the differences between warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals. Create a brochure on your favorite vertebrate before inventing your own invertebrate. Introduce the concept of adaptation and how animals have changed based on their environment. Take this further by conducting a case study on the adaptations of the koala. Finally, explore the concept of evolution and how this idea is backed up by fossil records. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

Animals That Live in Social Groups


Book Description

One of the biggest adaptations made by some animals is to live and work together as a group to ensure their survival. This intriguing book shows how social animals communicate and interact with members of their own species. Elephants, dolphins and orcas, monkeys, apes, lions, and wolves, educate their young, work together to find food, and take care of their group members. Smaller animals that work together in microsocieties include termites, ants, bees, and wasps. Students will have fun comparing their own social groups to those found in nature. Fascinating photographs accompany thought-provoking questions and activities.
