La biología a través de datos curiosos y extravagantes sobre los animales: América del Norte

This is a fun biology class that looks at animal evolution and development through the odd and strange adaptive features that emerged. This is part one of a multi-part series, and classes can be taken in any order. This class will focus on the weird and wacky life in North America, to show how animals adapt to their environment.
We will discuss a variety of life, from insects to mammals, to get a better understanding of our planet Earth, and how we all have adapted to life here. Students will take away several fun facts about the wildlife of North America, and have an interactive experience discussing life with the class. Students will learn:
-Adaptions are a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. This can be all sorts of things, like feeding adaptions, camouflage, super senses, or physical adaptions! 
-Feeding adaptions can be that an animal eats in a specific food, or in a specific way. 
-Camouflage is when an animal looks a certain way to hide from either predators or prey. 
-Some animals even have super senses that are part of their adaption utility belt! Certain snakes can sense heat, some sharks can sense electricity, and owls are famous for their hearing! These are all examples of how animals use super senses to adapt to their environment. 
-Some animals have physical adaptations that help them survive. This is like how a cheetah can run super-fast, or how some fish have hooked fins to help them climb trees!
