7. Animal Characteristic Breakdown: Reaching Your Curricular Goals By Teaching with Animals
Manage episode 426514627 series 3574234
Animals are inherently interesting to students, so let's take advantage of their characteristics to help you reach your curricular goals! In this episode I introduce different Next Generation Science Standards that can be enhanced by teaching animal characteristics.
I also conduct an animal characteristic breakdown where I explain what makes mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects similar and different from each other. I do this by touching on 6 different categories of characteristics including:
- Animal covering
- How they breathe
- How they have young
- If they are warm-blooded or cold-blooded
- If they are a vertebrate or an invertebrate
- A unique characteristic to that animal group
Tune in to learn about the unique traits of these animal groups and get inspired to teach animal characteristics in your classroom!
