Third graders will be launching a new unit in Science that focuses on Animal adaptations. The unit's provocation is to observe the animals that we have on campus e.g. ants, birds, butterflies, pigeons, lizards, and etc. This unit will allow our third graders the opportunity to explore the different animals' adaptations (one of their their favorite topics is animals) in Nicaragua and around the world. Later in the unit, students will study specific animals and their unique adaptations. They will be given the opportunity to present their findings and research. As part of the provocation stage is...students will be generating essential questions on the concept of animal adaptation. Third graders will engage in research to gather information about animal adaptations.

Third graders should be talking about the different animals' adaptations and provide reasons why these adaptations are important for their survival. Parents could support their child through the lens of reading non-fiction books (animals). If you have the chance to go to the beach, forest, farms, and caves please talk the about animals that live in those habitats.
