3.1a Each animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. • wings, legs, or fins enable some animals to seek shelter and escape predators • the mouth, including teeth, jaws, and tongue, enables some animals to eat and drink • eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin of some animals enable the animals to sense their surroundings • claws, shells, spines, feathers, fur, scales, and color of body covering enable some animals to protect themselves from predators and other environmental conditions, or enable them to obtain food • some animals have parts that are used to produce sounds and smells to help the animal meet its needs • the characteristics of some animals change as seasonal conditions change (e.g., fur grows and is shed to help regulate body heat)
3.1c In order to survive in their environment, plants and animals must be adapted to that environment. • seeds disperse by a plant’s own mechanism and/or in a variety of ways that can include wind, water, and animals • leaf, flower, stem, and root adaptations may include variations in size, shape, thickness, color, smell, and texture • animal adaptations include coloration for warning or attraction, camouflage, defense mechanisms, movement, hibernation, and migration
______

NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS:
Students who demonstrate understanding can:

2-LS4-1. | Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the diversity of living things in each of a variety of different habitats.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include specific animal and plant names in specific habitats.]
LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans: There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water

The student will complete an in class activity where they make their own animals out of clay that are placed in the correct environment to show they have an understanding of the standards addressed. ]]> 2016-11-08 15:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kar26/9fua85npzkhz/wish/136119835 Brief Description of the Interactive Activity that Accompanies the Field Trip kar26 https://padlet.com/kar26/9fua85npzkhz/wish/136120667 Students will create an animal out of clay that lives in a certain environment with specific qualities that makes it adaptable to this environment. The students will also be asked to write about their animal with the details about it that make it specific to it's environment with accuracy.]]> 2016-11-08 15:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kar26/9fua85npzkhz/wish/136120667 Benefits of Your Field Trip kar26 https://padlet.com/kar26/9fua85npzkhz/wish/136121443 1. providing opportunities for repeated visitations to the site for continued study.
2. allowing the teacher to focus on one specific aspect of the trip at a time
3. illustrating time sensitive issues that could not be viewed on a single actual trip.
4. providing integration of the multiple aspects of the field trip into a number of different curriculum areas

They are a way to promote positive connections to STEM science for the student in a learning based experience. They are a break from the normal routine and something fun, different, and exciting for the students. Well planned field trips can be the experience of a lifetime and are extremely important because a lot of learning is experiential and hands on which increases student's engagement. ]]> 2016-11-08 15:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kar26/9fua85npzkhz/wish/136121565
