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.

5A(3-5)#2 Features used for grouping depend on the purpose of the grouping

Student Venn Diagrams and class construction of Venn Diagram (See Exploring and Discovering on page 91 and Processing for Meaning on page 92.)

Are students able to use the features of the teeth (size and placement) to make reasonable inferences about whether the animal is an omnivore, herbivore, or carnivore?
When discussing types of teeth and Science Notebook Page--Teeth and Jaws , do students understand the teeth are grouped according to structure and function?

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.
