Animal Project: Creative Creatures - Biomes, Structural, and Behavioral Adaptations
Science, Life Sciences, Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Research, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Projects
Here's a middle grades science project (for grades 4-7) that will let your students use their creativity to apply their knowledge of biomes and adaptations as they complete research, integrate knowledge from several sources, type a report, and make a detailed diagram ! How to Use: Assign each student an animal or let them chose their own. They need to research that animal’s biome and the adaptations the animal currently has. Next, each student chooses a different biome and moves their animal there. They must use their imagination and logic to predict the adaptations the animal would develop in the new biome. Once each student has completed their notes, they can type or write a report to present the information. I encouraged my students to make a four-paragraph report: Paragraph one: describe initial biome Paragraph two: describe initial adaptations Paragraph three: describe new biome Paragraph four: describe new adaptations Students also create their own visual image of their creative creature (labels encouraged). I like to put all the reports and images together into a class book. This is fun way to showcase the students’ hard work. I have included the title page I use for our class book. I have also included the rubric I use to assess the projects. Graces to Use With: This product is appropriate for students in grades 4-7 depending on when your science curriculum includes biomes, structural/physical and behavioural adaptations, or diversity of life standards. What's Included: A total of 6 pages in PDF Format: - Lesson ideas, links and videos to teach students about biomes and structural and behavioural adaptations. - A 2-page graphic organizer for students to take notes as they complete research. - A rubric to assess the final project. - A title page for your completed class book.
