1 T E A C H E R S N O T E S Focus: Students explore how animals grow and change. They will also learn how animals are the same and different, how baby animals live, change, and grow, how animals take care of themselves and their babies, and how human actions can both help and harm animals. Learning Goals: Students will have opportunities to learn how to correctly use the terms adult, egg, hatch, amphibian, insect, larva, life cycle, nest, pouch, reptile, adaptation, pet, rescue, dog, endangered, reproduce, stranded how animals are the same and different how baby animals live and grow that not all baby animals look like their parents which animals go through changes as they grow which animals hatch from eggs which animals make nests how humans take care of animals how animals help people Discussion Prompts: How are animals alike, and how are they different? What do babies need in order to grow? Why do some animals lay eggs? Why do some animals make a nest? Why do some babies look like their parents and others go through changes as they grow up? Why do humans take care of some animals? Why do some animals make good pets but some do not? What animals help people? How do humans affect the growth and healthy life of animals? How can humans help animals to survive? Assessment Prompts: Do students demonstrate, in their discussions and answers to questions, understanding of the science vocabulary used in the cards for this unit? Are students able to carry out the skills of scientific inquiry, following activity procedure steps safely and accurately, making observations when appropriate? Assess students responses during discussions. - Do students understand that not all babies look like their parents? - Do students understand that some animals go through physical changes as they grow? - Do they understand that animal babies are born, kept safe, and raised in a variety of ways? - Do they understand how human actions can both help and hurt animals? - Do they know why some animals are in danger and how humans can help them survive? - Can students suggest ways that humans might be able to help animals survive?
