Have you let your students create something this year? Have they had the opportunity to show off their high thinking skills?

I loved 5th grades angry bird’s animal adaptations that they have up right now. It took something that students enjoy and allowed them to create an adapted animal. Remmeber that our fab fifth graders have this to think about:

5.9 Science Concept. The student knows that adaptations may increase the survival of
members of a species.

The student is expected to:
(A) compare the adaptive characteristics of species that improve their ability to
survive and reproduce in an ecosystem;
(B) analyze and describe adaptive characteristicsthat result in an organism’s unique
niche in an ecosystem: and
(C) predict some adaptive characteristics required for survival and reproduction by
an organism in an ecosystem.

Here’s also a few sites to help your students get digitally creative, :0

Switch Zoo

Build an Online Habitat is where students choose animals and match them to the correct environment by changing weather, vegetation, animal & biome.

Animal Homes is a great site for little ones to begin learning about different animal habitats.

Draw that Habitat

A student chooses an animal, is given some information to read about the animal, and then draws the habitat for it. Once their drawing is completed they can save or print it.

Creature Feature.

Students select a wildlife or habitat category button and only the animals that match what you have selected will be shown.

Plant and Animal Habitats from the BBC is another great habitat game where students have to put aliens in their correct habitat after being given

clues about the creature and their habitat.

Wanted: New Home for Frog! is a great activity from EcoKids where students can help a frog find a new habitat.

In Who Lives Here students match cards to see which animals and plants live around a specific kind of tree.

The Magic School Bus has a fun habitat matching game called The Great Habitat Match.
