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 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.

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 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.

This lesson takes students through 3 iPad apps to explore and explain animal habitats. Students will use the drawing tool in Pages to complete two pictures of animal habitats, use Keynote to follow links to San Diego zoo cameras and record their own audio describing the exhibits, and finally use iMovie to record themselves in their favorite animal habitat!*The thumbnail image was taken by Lindsay Stahl at the Living Planet Aquarium

In this lesson students will watch a short video about gorillas and talk about the interesting things they learned with the class.  Then they will have the chance to access a hyperdoc and will read articles and watch videos about different animals and record one interesting fact from each resource on a Google form.                                                                                                                               Citation for image:"Sumatran tiger drinking" World Book Kids, World Book, 2022.

Students will explore animal movements. They will compare movements and relate them to where animals live and how they obtain food.

This project is designed to help students create a short documentary film using the information they gathered to create an animal report. It can be used after writing an animal report or can be adapted to be used as the actual animal report. It can be designed to appear as a documentary series with all students having the same title opening, or be completely standalone. Students will be learning to find creative commons photos and videos to use in their film. They will create their film using iMovie on their iPads. Brown-Throated three-toed sloth female face.jpg- Wikimedia Commons

In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to research information about their favorite animal on World Book Kids.  They will take notes on the provided note sheet, and will include these facts in a short 2 paragraph report.   Citation for title image:"Polar bear hunting" World Book Kids, World Book, 2022.

This is a lesson plan to introduce research and writing informational text based on this research.Example of openly licensed Citation: "Animals - Cute Zoo" by Lesya Skripack from Russia is licensed under FreePik. Image Created by: Lesya Skripack 

In this lesson, students will learn a simple, kid friendly way to do research.  Their notes will later be used as they write an informational animal report.

Second grade students will be able to write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section.*All photos are my original photos. 

Students will conduct a research project on an animal of choice. Students will present the information they found in the storytelling format.

This lesson is for K2 to learn animals vocabulary in Chinese. Students will take photos of animals at home or search photos online and then make a storytelling video by using Adobe spark video. 

This lesson is part of a larger research unit, students have their source material and will highlight keywords and phrases using the graphic organizer from Step Up to Writing and build a paragraph on animal contributions to their environment.
