4th Grade Science Standard

  • 4.L.1.4  Explain how differences among animals of the same population sometimes give individuals an advantage in surviving and reproducing in changing habitats.
  • On Thinkfinity I found an activity called It's Tough to be a Leatherback.  Students could also do the Spark!Lab Inventor's notebook. 
  • Students could use their lab notebook and observe certain animals to learn about dominance heirarchy in populations.  They could record results and hypothesize why certain animals dominate.
  • Have students look up endangered species and what conservationists are doing to help them online.
