This PowerPoint Lesson Plan contains 28 slides on the following topics of Animal Behavior: Animal Behavior, What is Behavior?, Natural selection and Behavior, Individual Selection, Animal Behaviorists - Ethologists, Genetically Influenced Behavior, Genetic Basis of Behavior, Learning and Behavior, Habituation, Classical Conditioning, Trial and Error Learning, Skinner Box, Reasoning, Genetic and Learned Aspects of Behavior, Imprinting, Types of Behavior, Common Animal Behaviors, Foraging Behavior, Migratory Behavior, Defensive Behavior, Territorial Behavior, Courtship Behavior, Parental Care, Influences on Behavior, Animal Communication (Signals), Primate Communication, Reproductive Behavior, Mate Choice, Sexual Selection, Competition by Males. My PowerPoint presentations have been made to be both informative on curricular topics and visually stimulating for all students. 100% of my students prefer to receive and discuss new topics via PowerPoint (compared to reading textbooks, lectures, or copying information off of the board). I have found that this method works extremely well with both mainstreamed and inclusion students. When I taught in a traditional HS, I provided a notebook with all the slides for students who needed to take a second look at a slide or were absent for the day. A free product preview of the entire PowerPoint Presentation is available. An Outline and other resources on this topic can be purchased separately.

I was first introduced to the idea of creating Animal Dioramas when my son (who was a first grader at the time), brought home a shoebox and a basic instruction sheet from his teacher to create a diorama of any animal and its natural habitat. Being a mom, I was so excited about the opportunity to help my son create something he was so excited about! Being a teacher, I knew that I had to do a project like this with my own students, but I had no idea where to start. I shared the idea with my second grade colleagues, and they all loved it! We worked together to create a basic letter to send home to parents, but struggled to find just the right way to show students exactly what the project is and how to do it. (I don't know about your class, but I have to break everything into very small steps for most of my kiddos!) So, I decided to create a unit that would have everything you could ever need for doing a project like this. Trust me, if you want to do this project with your class - this unit will save you SO much time and make your life so much easier! To start off, our science focus for the entire month is ANIMALS! We spent time reading about animals and life cycles in our science books, and this week we are learning all about animal habitats. I found some really amazing videos on habitats on our district portal, but you can also find some really cute and informative videos here (around 3-5 minutes each): Animals and their Habitats Habitats Home Sweet Habitat Earlier this week, I sent home a letter to parents to let them know that we will be starting our dioramas soon! I also asked parents to send shoe boxes to school with their child, if possible. You may want to send home your parent letter 1-2 weeks before you intend to send home the assignment. I like to send everything home with the student on a Friday, so they have the weekend to start gathering supplies and begin working on their project. I usually give students 3-4 weeks to complete the project at home. My student dioramas are due on May 6th, which gives me plenty of time to have them present their projects and have them on display for our Open House the following week! After that, I'll be happy to send them home with the students. This is what I sent home with the students to kick off our Animal Diorama and Research Report Project! (Of course I stapled them together so the pages didn't go flying all over the place when they went outside, but for the purpose of this photo - I laid them out so you can see them!) That's it! Easy-peasy! Just send the directions for the project, the animal research report poster, the student grading rubric, and the presentation outline home and have your students work on their projects on their own time. My second grade team and I decided to have one day where we all will keep our classrooms open or an hour or so after school so students can come in and work on their projects, use classroom supplies, get help with research, etc. We will be doing the majority of the research in the classroom, and will be writing the research reports as well. I just prefer to do that part with the students, so I can guide them through the writing process. The majority of our research will be done on the internet during our computer lab time. I've found these websites to be VERY helpful and easy for kids to find the information they need for their reports! A-Z Animals Kids National Geographic - Animals San Diego Zoo: Animals A-Z While we are in the computer lab, I had the students record their research information on this sheet: Once the students had recorded all of their information, we spent the next day taking their key ideas and putting them into complete sentences about their animals. I also have a simpler version if that works better for your class! From there, the students would write their final draft on a separate sheet of paper (also included in the unit). You can find all of these pages, grading rubrics, parent letters, as well as a how-to instructional presentation to show your students how to do the project HERE! Now, the only question is... what will your students create?

Learning how to research is an important skill, and one that is practiced to some degree at all grade levels. Most kids will go through full-blown research projects at some point in the year in their classrooms. While this is important, I also feel kids need to be given multiple opportunities to investigate topics of their... Read more

If you've wanted to learn how to make faux fur ears but don't know how to get started, we can help! This printable pattern includes templates for making your own pair of faux fur ears. I have a "crash-course" tutorial on how to use my patterns here: https://youtu.be/omw4ylMKki8 For links to additional tutorials that cover topics like cutting out fabric, assembly, and airbrushing, please visit my website at: https://ardent-warren-creations.square.site/diy ------------------------------- Pattern is sized for US Letter paper (8.5 by 11 inches). There is also a 1 by 1 inch square to make sure scaling is correct. Finished product is approximately 3.5 in. long. ------------------------------- My basic method of assembly is using clear packing tape to attach aluminum wire around the perimeter of a white piece of 2mm craft foam then using hot glue to sandwich it between 2 fabric pieces. I then glue the seams together, shave it with pet hair trimmers then trim the edges using fabric scissors. I usually paint them using an airbrush but you can also use thinned acrylics. ------------------------------- Feel free to use these patterns for creating products, but please do not redistribute the digital pattern.
