In this habitats worksheet, students will brainstorm one thing that happens when a habitat changes and then they will indicate three effects that change causes.

Students participate in a discussion about the three types of natural selection. In groups, they identify examples of adaptations from photographs. To end the lesson, they analyze results of natural selection in adaptation, behaviors...

Students identify the various adaptations of reptiles and amphibians. After distinguishing between reptiles and amphibians, students discuss the ways in which their adaptations aid in their survival. They participate in a hands on...

Students identify the characteristics of birds and explain how these characteristics are useful in their survival. They explain how both physical and environmental adaptations help birds survive and reproduce. Students create an...

High schoolers examine adaptation through a hands-on activity and determine how the gene pool can affect adaptability. They simulate a predator and prey relationship by going on a hunt for colored acetate disks. After a three minute...

Second graders work in groups and they are asked to line up on either side of the board. They are explained that on the teachers instruction, one student at a time runs to the marked area and brings back the first worm they see. Students...

Pupils begin the lesson by observing animals in their natural habitat. Using the internet, they research the types of adaptations they have gone through to be able to live comfortably in their environment. They observe what they see on...

Young scholars identify the various species of birds found in the wetlands. Students observe and record the key skills involved in scientific inquiry. Young scholars handle and interpret data gathered on a field trip which reveals...

Learners organize different species of plans and animals according to various characteristics. Students then determine what characteristics enable them to survive in their habitat. Game ideas and activities are included.

Students are able to describe protective adaptations of animals. They are able to categorize the animals based on their protective adaptations. Students discuss adaptations of animals. They are explained that an adaptation helps an...

Middle schoolers identify and research a frog habitat in small groups and compile a report to present to the class on the physical characteristics of their frog's environment. Students create a map illustrating areas in the world where...

Students examine animals that use camouflage and discuss why they use it. They create drawing of an imaginary animal that uses camouflage to hide in the classroom and identify the adaptations that would allow it to hide effectively.

Students research and investigate woolly mammoths in order to determine what caused their extinction in Utah. They research how Utah changed in the time after the mammoth disappeared.

Students explore the world of mammals, birds, and fish to compare and contrast their habitats, adaptations, and camouflages. Through research, musical experiences, and hands-on activities, the lives and adventures of these animals are...

Students track species using the Journey North project. They examine the meaning of physical and behavioral adaptation, migration, and identify adaptations that help the species they track survive.

Students examine how animals use camouflage for survival.  In this investigative lesson plan students define vocabulary words and see how it is the environment that controls which adaptations will help in survival. 

Learners comprehend how Dicken's set piece on snobbery. They discuss how Lean uses costume, actors' non-verbal communcication and props to convey Victorian class customs, distinctions, and snobbery. Students are shown "The Jolly Bargee"...

Students investigate the concept of adapting to an environment. They conduct research using a variety of resources. The information search is focused upon animals picked by the students that need to be classified and then write a...

Students design and construct an imaginary animal that is perfectly adapted to a particular type of biome. They give the animal a scientific name, place it in a phylum and write descriptions about its behavior, reproduction, foraging,...

Students are introduced to various animals and their habitats. In groups, they must determine which animal skin matches the correct animal and identify the texture. They discuss the reason for the texture and width of the skin to end...

Students investigate some of the different characteristics of living things. They make observations from reading and interactive media. Students observe that animals move in different ways and have adaptations to aid in that action.

Second graders investigate the reasons animals hibernate. They measure their own heart rates and compare them to those of a hibernating bear. In their journals, 2nd graders record facts about and characteristics of hibernation and...
