3rd Grade 4th nine weeks Unit of Study - Animal Adaptations
Dear 3rd Grade Families,
Our Focus
In this 3rd grade science unit your child will be learning about how the structures and functions of plants and animals help them survive in certain environments.
Instructional Approach
We will be researching different animals and plants in their natural environments. We will use technology to research as well as our school library. Students will study the structures and traits of organisms to better understand how they thrive in their environments. Students will explore that some characteristics traits of organisms are inherited (such as the number of limbs on an animal or flower color) and recognize that some behaviors are learned in response to living in a certain environment (such as animals using tools to get food).
Family Support
You can help your child in several ways.
Sincerely,
Donna Mullins
