Format
Animals are grouped based on how they are different from other animals, and these groups are called “classifications.” This program explores the adaptations of three groups of animals (birds, reptiles, and mammals) that allow them to interact successfully with their environment.
Objectives
Observe mammals, birds, and reptiles and determine how they interact with their respective environment.
Identify what differentiates mammals, birds, and reptiles from each other based on their characteristics and observe how these characteristics place each animal into a level of classification.
Identify adaptations that mammals, birds, and reptiles have in relation to the five senses and how they help them survive.
