The Way Animals Move

We explored how animals move. How they survive in their enviroment and how they conserve their energy. We explored videos researched about animals and visited the Zoo. We learned interesting features and characteristics animals have to help them survive and thrive in their enviroment. Journaled about the things we saw, did virtual tours of zoo's, and think pair shares.

We explored objected and how they move and related it to animals. Visiting the Zoo tied nicely into two of our units we are studying and will be studying in Science; Movement of Animals, and Needs of Animals.

Students explored animals: where they live, what they eat, why they move and how they get and replenish their energy. Students experienced first hand, seeing and working hands on.

Some of the science outcomes explored include: Objects and animals: how they move along pathways in a variety of ways, such as rolling, bouncing and sliding. These outcomes allow for discussion and connection between seasonal changes and animal changes to help adapt to their environment along with how they store energy.
