Prescribed Learning Outcomes:
Can students compare and contrast different types of animal life cycles?
Did they demonstrate this by identifying differences in nesting and food
gathering behaviours?
Can students describe structures that enable animals to survive in different
environments? Did they demonstrate this by gathering information on owls
through observation and experimentation and identifying differences in
beaks and feet?
Can students demonstrate a knowledge of what animals need to survive?
Did they demonstrate this by charting the needs of an animal and drawing
an animal in its habitat?
Can students explain how animals interact with one another? Did they
demonstrate this by creating a food chain?
Can students compare and contrast animal fossils with living organism?
Did they demonstrate this by stating specific information about dinosaurs
based on prior knowledge, and relating this to information learned from
the study of owls?
Can students suggest reasons for the endangerment or extinction of animal
