Animal science helps students explore and learn about animals and how each has unique qualities.

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. 

This class is a self-paced course meaning we will not meet live together. 

Each lesson will have 5 tasks that can be done one a day or more than one a day, what ever works best for your students! Each week will focus on one farm animal.

-Students will watch a video and complete worksheets.

-Students will learn a set of vocabulary words for the week and practice them.

-Each lesson will include an art project and/or a science experiment to help make what they are learning in class come alive at home!

-Students will be encouraged to make a spiral where they will store all their worksheets (this can be used for quizzes). This is a great resource for areas that require proof of work. 

-There will be a final quiz to test what students have learned

Lesson 1
In this lesson we will discuss what hibernation is, what animals hibernate (bears, ladybug, frogs, hedgehogs), and complete a hibernation experiment and art project. 

Lesson 2
In 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. 

Lesson 3
In 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.
