This video guides you on an activity to get your students outside and excited about Life Science. This activity is good for Kindergarten through 2nd grade.

In this instructional video, the Hogle Zoo explains how to use the lesson plan "Habitat Design."

This lesson supports the 1st-grade science core strand 1.2: The Needs of Living Things and Their Offspring. Students obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about mother and baby animals and begin to construct an explanation of patterns in the behavior of parents and offspring which helps offspring to survive. 

In this 3-part unit, students will investigate the structures and functions of animals living in UtahÕs forests, deserts, and wetlands. Using this knowledge, they will create their own new species of animal that is adapted to one of these environments. This lesson is adaptable for in-class or at-home learning and aligned with SEEd standard 4.1.1.

In this 3-part unit, students investigate structures and functions of rainforest animals. Using this knowledge, they will then design and create an invention inspired by nature. This lesson is adaptable for in-class or at-home learning and aligned with SEEd standard 2.2.4.

Students watch video clips of animals and plants in their natural environments to determine what living things need to survive. They will then complete an illustration of their own real or imagined plant or animal fulfilling one or more of their needs for survival, within their natural environment. While this lesson does a good job explaining how animals meet their needs through their environments, additional lessons and experiences with plants would need to be provided in order to meet the full standard.

In this instructional video, the Hogle Zoo explains how to use the lesson plan "A Night In the Life of a Beaver 2.2.2."

By participating in this activity, students will:
• understand the concept of structure and function and how it applies to a beaver's ability to create and its adaptations for living in a wetland habitat.

This video accompanies the "Patterns in Adaptations" lesson plan and provides information on the animal in the lesson plan's habitat.
