Animal Adaptations, Food Chains, Biomes, Animal Classification Science BUNDLE

Let’s go on an adventure! Each science unit in the bundle includes interactive notebooks, lots of engaging activities, printables, and 100% editable PowerPoint. 4 units: Animal Classifications, Animal Adaptations, Food chains / Food Webs, and Biomes / Habitats.

*Also includes digital access via Google Slides.

Animal Adaptations

Topics Include: Physical and Behavioral Adaptations, Instinctive and Learned Behaviors, Camouflage, Mimicry, Chemical Defenses, Body Coverings and Parts, Hibernation, and Migration

Printables / Worksheets (answer keys included):

- PowerPoint Review Questions

- Elephants, African Lions, Camels: A passage for each animal with comprehension Questions

- Students fill in the squares of how each physical feature helps the animal live

- Adaptations Vocabulary Sheet (used to study)

- Vocab Match (used as a quiz or test)

- Word Search

Interactive Notebooks (Teacher directions and examples included):

- Adaptations for survival – 10 animals to choose and research. If you go with the teacher directions on how to use the templates, the students will go on a zoo adventure. Animals Included: Giraffe, Lion, Elephant, Frog, Duck, Camel, Bear, Crocodile, Butterfly, and a mouse.

- Students cut the strips and classify whether the information is referring to instinctive or learned behavior.

- Pocket activity- Students classify whether the animal fact is physical or behavioral

100% editable PowerPoint – Includes all the topics mentioned above. The pictures are real rather than clipart to grasp the student’s attention. Animations are also set but you can change them if you prefer.

Food Chains and Food Webs

Topics include: food chains, food webs, producers, photosynthesis, consumers, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers, carnivores, tertiary consumers, omnivores, decomposers, trophic pyramid (food pyramid)

PowerPoint review questions, cut and paste chain activity, vocabulary sheet, Vocab match, food webs worksheet, word search

Vocab and Questions Flap Activity, Pocket with strips to arrange, and a 3D food pyramid activity.

Major Land Biomes and Aquatic Biomes

Topics:

Location, Weather, plants/trees, and animals in each of the 8 biomes-

Rainforest (tropical and temperate)

Deciduous Forest

Tundra

Taiga

Grassland

Desert

Freshwater

Marine

The printables include:

PowerPoint review worksheet – students can follow along the PowerPoint to answer the questions so the teacher makes sure they are paying attention. Another option is using it as a quiz or test grade.

Fast facts sheet – students can do their own research using online resources or use the powerpoint to fill this in to include information on location, weather, plants, and animals for each biome. There is a page of facts already included that the teacher can use as a reference.

Venn Diagram- Knowing the differences of tropical and temperate rainforests – The teacher can use this as a group assignment where they fill in the venn diagram together and the answer sheet will help get more information of facts they did not think of.

What animals live there? Activity – students cut the pictures of the animals and glue them next to the biome it belongs in.

Map coloring activity (2 different versions) – Version 1 – students color in their own key and then color the map according to the key. Version 2 – students color by number according to the key (easy).

Biomes word search

Interactive notebooks include (colored and black & white copies for your convenience):

Informational flaps activity

Pockets with strips of facts to categorize and place in each biome pocket

Biome plants “flower” flaps (3 different versions) - version 1 – students cut the strips of lists of plants with pictures and glue them under the correct flap “petal”. Version 2 – students write their own list of plants under each biome petal. Version 3 – can be used as answer key or students can use it as reference.
