The title of this post, "Weird and Wonderful," does not refer to the students of Room 209, but to the article they read earlier this week. The most recent National Geographic Explorer featured an article on animal adaptations that meshed beautifully with both our Life Science review and Classification of Organisms unit.
In addition to reading the article and visualizing the extraordinary animals highlighted, we watched two short videos provided by National Geographic. The first is all about underwater survival techniques with an emphasis on mimicry.
The second shows a number of different ways that the Thorny Devil has adapted for success in its habitat.
I apologize for the advertisements at the start of each video clip. (In the classroom, I cue the videos up to begin after the ads. )
