This lesson is about animal adaptations of animals that are found in Utah.  

 Second Grade ScienceStrand 2.2: LIVING THINGS AND THEIR HABITATSLiving things (plants and animals, including humans) need water, air, and resources from the land to survive and live in habitats that provide these necessities. The physical characteristics of plants and animals reflect the habitat in which they live. Animals also have modified behaviors that help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. Humans sometimes mimic plant and animal adaptations to survive in their environment.Standard 2.2.1Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about patterns of living things (plants and animals, including humans) in different habitats. Emphasize the diversity of living things in land and water habitats. Examples of patterns in habitats could include descriptions of temperature or precipitation and the types of plants and animals found in land habitats. (LS2.C, LS4.C, LS4.D)Students will be able to observe and discuss animal adaptations. They will demostrate their understanding by coming up with adaptations the animal would need to survive in a different type of habitat. <a href='https://www.freepik.com/photos/snow-leopard'>Snow leopard photo created by vladimircech - www.freepik.com</a>

This lesson is an art integration lesson based on the following standards:  Standard 3.2.5Engage in argument from evidence that in a particular habitat (system) some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. Emphasize that organisms and habitats form systems in which the parts depend upon each other. Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved such as cacti growing in dry, sandy soil but not surviving in wet, saturated soil. (LS4.C) Standard 3.V.CR.1:Elaborate on an imaginative idea and apply knowledge of available resources, tools, and technologies to investigate personal ideas through the art-making process.

This lesson plan is designed to help lower grade teachers teach their students to compare different animals. The activity in the lesson can be completed in 30-40 minutes in small groups as part of a whole group lesson in person or online.  The lesson plan is created by the author using resources from Youtube, and World Book."American black bear with cubs" World Book Kids, World Book, 2022.

It takes a thick skin to withstand the hardships that life has to offer. This collection of images shows a variety of animals, each with a slightly different type of protective covering.

Allegories are similar to metaphors: in both the author uses one subject to represent another, seemingly unrelated, subject. However, unlike metaphors, which are generally short and contained within a few lines, an allegory extends its representation over the course of an entire story, novel, or poem. This lesson plan will introduce students to the concept of allegory by using George Orwell’s widely read novella, Animal Farm, which is available on Project Gutenberg.

This lesson plan is for 2nd grade science. Students take or use a photo of an animal and edit it using Adobe or a similar program to add labels of animal features. Students will conduct research about the animal and use notes to create the labels and present their photo to the class and explain the functions of the labeled features to the class.

Second-grade lesson on the types of habitats and needs of living things. Students will create a poster that shows what they learned about a specific habitat. Student goals/intended outcomes: Students will be able to identify the different habitats and at least 3 animals that live in each habitat. Students will be able to identify and list the four needs of animals. (food, water, shelter, air)https://pixnio.com/fauna-animals/manatee-pictures/tropical-habitat-natural-environment-for-manatee-mammals

This is a lesson plan for activities intended to teach students what a habitat is, some of the types of habitats found around the world, and different animals that live in them.  It includes a discussion about the word, photos depicting various habitats, a game of guessing where a particular anmimal would live, a decodable/rebus page about habitats, and a drawing page/class book showing an animal in its habitat.   cover photo:"White Tigers, Singapore Zoo {Explore}" by Eustaquio Santimano is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.

This is a lesson intended to help kindergarten students connect animal habitats to how those animals meet their need for water, food, shelter, and space.

This lesson will help students explain animal habitats. Students will use the drawing tool in Pages to complete two pictures of animal habitats.Image-By me, Brooke Lee

This lesson plan is designed to help lower grade teachers teach their students to compare different types of animal habitats.  The activities in the lesson can be completed in 30-45 minutes in small groups as part of a whole group lesson in person or online.  The lesson plan is created by the author (Jalizabeth Hamberlin) using resources from Youtube, EBSCO, and National Geographic Kids.

This is a lesson plan designed to teach students science standard 2 Standard 2.2.2Plan and carry out an investigation of the structure and function of plant and animal parts in different habitats. Emphasize how different plants and animals have different structures to survive in their habitat. Examples could include the shallow roots of a cactus in the desert or the seasonal changes in the fur coat of a wolf. (LS1.A, LS4.A, LS4.D)Students will demonstrate their knowledge by creating a newsletter using the Apple Pages app.
