Animal Adaptations: How Animals Adapt To Winter

Animals must adapt to winter conditions! This lesson introduces students to adaptations animals use to survive the harsh winter conditions.

An engaging, 35-slide power point presentation informs students about migration, hibernation, burrowing, growing a thick fur coat, and other adaptations.

An accompanying handout for students to complete focuses their learning.

A follow-up student activity page evaluates their learning.

Two additional activity pages focus on the math connection where students interpret bar graphs related to the animals they have just learned about.

Suggestions are included for additional writing activities and art projects to round out this lesson, along with a suggested rubric.

All answer keys where appropriate are provided.
