Description

The Tundra Animal Adaptations Interactive Digital Notebook is designed to support the Next Generation Standards for learning about adaptations in third grade (LS3.A, LS3.B, LS4.C). This Google Slides digital resource with 17 slides provides practice for students to research animal adaptations in the tundra.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Each student is assigned the Tundra Animals Adaptations for Google Slides Project.
  • Each slide has a specific task involved.
  • Students collect data from images and a video or website link on the slide.
  • Students take notes that are then used to complete the slide. 
  • Instructions for the students are contained in the Speaker Notes section. 
  • Students should also utilize print resources that you provide or they find on their own.
  • The Read Me file for the teacher includes the task involved on each slide.
  • Students can work individually, in pairs, or small groups.
  • Once students complete a slide or the entire project, evaluate their learning with the included scoring guide and answer key

The Interactive Digital Notebook includes researching mostly structural adaptations with some behavioral adaptations of tundra animals.

Conduct short research projects that build knowledge about a topic.
NGSS3-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. Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
NGSS3-LS3-2
Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment. Examples of the environment affecting a trait could include normally tall plants grown with insufficient water are stunted; and, a pet dog that is given too much food and little exercise may become overweight.
NGSS3-LS3-1
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms. Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among siblings. Emphasis is on organisms other than humans. Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.
