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.
In this instructional video, the Hogle Zoo explains how to use the lesson plan "Patterns in 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 video asks how elephants stay cool in the summer heat.
This video investigates what elephants eat by looking at what their feces looks like.
This video showcases how elephants use their trunks.
This video shows how giraffes eat and asks us to investigate further.
This video asks us to investiage how insects have adapted.
This video asks us to discover patterns in insects that live in the same area.
This video showcases how Newts are unique amphibians.
This video asks us to compare and contrast seals and sea lions.
This video investigates how snakes climb.
This video asks us to watch Woodpeckers closely.
In this instructional video, the Hogle Zoo explains how to use the lesson plan "Pollination Station."
The goal of this activity is to give students a better understanding of the act of pollination and what pollination produces. It will also provide them with a sense of the adaptations that animals and plants have to help with the pollination process.
Share sections and portions of the following video to help your child(ren) learn about how animals survive when they are young.
This video describes how you can teach with phenomenon-based learning.
Animals are sometimes hard to see, but with observation skills we can use evidence to figure out where they‘ve been and what they’ve been doing. Students love to look for evidence of animals, and teaching them basic tracking skills can open up a world of intrigue and mystery. In this Focused Exploration activity, students use observation skills to notice evidence of animals living in the area. With a few basic tracking tools, students look for animal signs, and follow animal paths to new discoveries. Students also engage in key science practices as they share explanations for the animal signs they find, compare and evaluate explanations based on the strength of evidence, and take part in scientific argumentation.
