Insights Bones and Skeletons

How do the parts of an animal relate to its needs and habitat?

IAF (12.7.02 ): Understand that animals have parts well suited to the places they live in and to their needs. For example, rabbits radiate heat through their ears, and those living in hotter climates have larger ears to radiate heat more efficiently. Thus, given a list of animals, one of which is clearly better adapted to a given environment, understand that that is the animal that lives in that environment.

12A(3-5)#2: Offer reasons for their findings and consider reasons suggested by others.

Summative Assessment: (Use teacher-generated assessment. The assessment is the first question on the pre-assessment.)

See teacher-generated rubric available on the electronic blueprint

1. For conceptual benchmarks.
2. Bolded sections indicate portion of benchmark addressed
3. Unless noted as a Summative Assessment, the assessments are formative and should be used to guide teaching and learning.
