My students LOVED creating each one of these animals and discovering the wide world of trait inheritance! They actually loved the kookaburra so much that they named him Kevin. You'll see him pop up in the Learning Pages part through the story :)
🪺
Kids associate with animals in an emotional way. I like using that natural connection to teach deeper concepts like traits, survival, and genetics. I hope your students love these animals, too!
🐅
When you download this bundle, you'll have immediate access to 3 project lessons. These are not just cut and paste activities, but hands-on experiences that encourage creativity and curiosity.
🦊
They are all set up with Learning Pages (a story-based lesson), Exit Ticket, and a Recording Sheet.
