Description
This unit engages students in inquiry-based activities to help them gain a conceptual understanding of life cycles, animals benefits from living in groups, adaptations and natural selection. Many opportunities for data collection and analysis are embedded in the mini unit allowing teachers to integrate math standards.
This Unit was designed to address these NGSS Science Standards for 3rd grade:
3-LS1-1. Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles, but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
3-LS2-1. Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
3-LS4-2: Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.
3-LS4-3: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
If you don't use NGSS, this unit is appropriate for grades 3-5
Activities Include:
Activity 1: Life Cycles: Students work cooperatively to figure out the life cycles of three different organisms.
Activity 2: Life Cycles Informational Reading and Questions
Activity 3: Animal Groups Poster Reports: Student research different animals and learn about the groups they live in. After their research, they organize a poster to share. An optional grading rubric is included as well as an extension activity about humans and groups.

Activity 5: What Butterfly? Students examine environments and then create an insect that can camouflage well in the chosen environment. Class data is collected and analyzed.
Activity 6: Classifying Camouflage: This inquiry-based activity allows students to classify pictures and descriptions of animals based on the type of camouflage they use.
Activity 7: Butterfly Islands: In this activity students will simulate being birds and eating butterflies from different colored islands. Extensions to the idea of natural selection are made. Opportunities for data collection and analysis are included.
Activity 8: My Beak is Better Than Yours!: Students will test different “beaks” and their suitability for different food.
