Fifth graders examine migration by tracing animal migration routes on a map.  In this animal life lesson, 5th graders observe a map of North America and read about the migration patterns of geese.  Students trace the path most geese take from Canada to the Gulf Coast and illustrate a picture of what their winter habitat looks like.
