Students will use body movements and facial expressions to act out the life cycle of a butterfly.

In this lesson students learn about the 17 types of penguins. They will be able to explain where penguins live and how they survive. Students learn that penguins cannot fly, but they are excellent swimmers. This science lesson is appropriate for students in kindergarten and 1st grade. It takes approximately 30 minutes of class time to complete. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to describe different types of penguins, their living environment, and their survival skills. The lesson begins by asking students if they have ever watched a movie about penguins. After reviewing a slideshow about penguin’s identifying characteristics, students watch a video that demonstrates what penguins look like when they swim. The presentation features a slideshow of images of the various types of penguins. It also provides students information about penguins’ environment, mostly in the southern part of the world and mostly in the cold parts of the world. The lesson provides the exception of the Galapagos penguin, which lives on the equator. Students pair up with a partner to look at pictures of penguins and talk about how the penguins survive. The presentation provides information about penguin’s layers of feathers and blubber to protect themselves and their eggs. It also discusses how many penguins are endangered due to pollution, predators, and humans taking land and food. The lesson provides a map of where penguins live and a review about their essential traits. The lesson concludes with a quiz and open-ended question asking what students learned.

This video accompanies the "Patterns in Adaptations" lesson plan and provides video footage of animals that live at Utah's Hogle Zoo that have similar adaptations.

By participating in this activity, students will: make observations about patterns of living things, obtain information regarding a habitat, evaluate their sources, and communicate what they found.

This worksheet accompanies the Patterns in Adaptations 2.2.1 lesson plan from the Hogle Zoo.

This video asks the question why animals from the Savanna are colored similarly.

This is an interactive, second-grade Nearpod lesson tied to SEEd standard 2.2.1. It guides students through information and activities about patterns of living things on land and in water.
This resource is a student-ready, three-dimensional SEEd science lesson you can add to your Nearpod library. Many of the phenomena, text, and images come from UEN OER textbooks, Seedstorylines.org, ck12.org, and pixabay.com. Most videos are from youtube.com or pbslearningmedia.org. Many of the simulations were found at phet.colorado.edu, ck12.org, and pbslearningmedia.org. This lesson is unique to Nebo School District but was built with the help of many amazing ideas from teachers throughout Utah.

Students will conduct a research project on one of the habitats: savnnah, dessert, ocean or mountain. Students will present the information they found in a 3D diorama that will be presented in class and on display at the school library.
