PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this unit, students explore how animals survive the winter. Why do some birds fly south; squirrels stick around and frogs and insects disappear? Animals either hibernate, migrate or adapt during winter to survive. Those animals who adapt have some seriously awesome animal superpowers. Kids explore the science of hibernation, the animals who migrate, and the hardcore animals who adapt to their environment During this activity, students conduct an experiment to learn what happens to an animal’s body when it hibernates, and they make their own ice putty (slime) and build a model in a jar to learn how wood frogs adapt in winter.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included in this download is the digital file for the hibernation activity. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
This activity supports the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core standards.
