In this self-paced class we will learn about different animals and how they use hibernation, adaptation or migration to survive the cold temperature and lack of food during the winter. Each lesson will have worksheets the student will need to print. Students will then watch a video while completing the worksheets. Each lesson will include an art project and/or a science experiment to help make...

Week 1Lesson 1HibernationIn this lesson we will discuss what hibernation is, what animals hibernate (bears, ladybug, frogs, hedgehogs), and complete a hibernation experiment and art project.Week 2Lesson 2AdaptationIn this lesson we will discuss how animals use adaptation to survive the winter. We will discuss what animals use adaptation and what they do to adapt (squirrel, fox, beavers, deer). We will also complete an adaptation experiment, art project and learn vocabulary words.Week 3Lesson 3MigrationIn our last lesson we will learn about what migration is, and what animals migrate before the winter (Canada geese, Monarch butterflies, Humpback whales, Ruby-Throated humming birds). In this lesson we will do a mapping activity to show where different animals migrate, learn vocabulary words and end with a small experiment.
I have lived on a small farm and been raising goats for over 9 years now. I also teach youth at our local 4H groups about different livestock and agriculture for the last 7 years.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
We will briefly talk about when animals will breed/mate and it is included on the vocabulary for Migration. This is not talked about in detail but may prompt questions from students to parents. Parent may need to help with two of the experiments. In lesson 1 there will be boiling water being poured into a cup. Students may need help with this. In lesson 2 students will probably need help spreading the crisco onto their hand as it can be tricky to do alone.
