During this game, kids become migratory shorebirds and fly among wintering, nesting, and stopover habitats. If they do not arrive at a suitable habitat on time, they do not survive. Catastrophic events are periodically introduced that...

Students discuss the behavior of different animals and how they move. They explore the ways that this helps them live and find food in their environment. They participate in a game that requires them to mimic the ways in which animals move.

Divide your school gym into breeding grounds and non-breeding grounds so that your zoologists can play a game simulating the seasonal migration of shorebirds. Players pick one of the included game cards and follow its directions, which...

The Galápagos Islands are an amazing place of isolated adaptation, colonized by an interesting mix of plants and animals. The class plays a game to help them understand how these organisms came to live on the island through a combination...

Students explore animal movements. They listen to the book, 'From Head to Toe,' discuss the animal movements, and imitate the animal actions during a rereading of the story.

Students use tools to represent bird beaks and pick up different types of food with them in order to discover which beak would help the bird survive depending on their food type.

Students, through play and use of a Hyperstudio Stack, identify animals and the way they walk, and then imitate their movements through a game. They gain motor skills through stunts and tumbling activities. This is mainly for...

Students participate in a role playing lab that allows students to experience how different beak adaptations play a role in the type of food the animal can eat, therefore playing a role in the survival of the species.

Students enhance their understanding of how animals function in a habitat.Students are scattered individually and in small groups. About half of students make coral shapes in small groups. The other half of students move like animals in...

Students investigate hominid evolution to learn the difference between a relative and an ancestor. They study the emergence of bipedalism and the related physical adaptations and cultural ramifications, and chart patterns of hominid...

Students examine what animals need in order to survive.  In this investigative lesson students play a "role" of an animal in winter.

Students imitate the same movements that different animals would make.
