Biología marina: adaptaciones animales

In this 4-week, flexible scheduled class, learners will explore 4 different marine animal adaptation through the creation and sharing of activity based learning projects. 

Each week learners will be provided with text and video video based content on the following ecosystems. 
Week 1: Polar Bear Plunge
This week learners will explore the structural adaptations a polar bear has to maintain body heat in the it's arctic habitat by conducting a short experiment.  
Week 2: Whale Call
This week learners will explore the physiological adaptation of echolocation by playing a version of tag.
Week 3: Squid Camouflage 
This week learners will explore the structural adaptation of squid color change by creating a model windsock. 
Week 4: Living Light
This week learners will explore the structural and behavior adaptation of bioluminescence by creating a model of an anglerfish.   

Each week includes an instructional video and activity demonstration, as well as, journal questions to be shared within the classroom.  Learners will interact with one another within the classroom via journal entry and project picture posts.  In addition, learners will asynchronously work together on a collaborative class Google Jamboard to create categories of animal adaptation.
