Delve deep into ecosystems by classifying the beings that live there. Our resource breaks down the different kinds of animals before studying their different adaptations. Start off by answering the question: what do we classify? Then, break down this classification into kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and finally species. Compare the differences between warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals. Create a brochure on your favorite vertebrate before inventing your own invertebrate. Introduce the concept of adaptation and how animals have changed based on their environment. Take this further by conducting a case study on the adaptations of the koala. Finally, explore the concept of evolution and how this idea is backed up by fossil records. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

Our comprehensive, four-part study of animals is sure to captivate student interest. Our unit starts off with a knowledge-based presentation of twenty-six terms necessary for a proper understanding of animals. Then, students learn the important characteristics of the major vertebrate families (groups) — fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals. Next, students investigate some of the ways that animals have adapted to suit their environments. Finally, students complete a major project where they write a report on an animal. This Animal Science lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of reading passages, activities, crossword, word search, colouring book and answer key to create a well-rounded lesson plan.

"Our world is incredibly diverse, but why are living things so different, and how do we make sense of the vast range of life forms? This book tackles the issues of variation - how and why it occurs - and classification, looking at how we organize plants and animals into groups." --Publisher's description.
