    This lesson plan is for a 2nd grade science class on resource adaptations. The students will learn how different animals like sharks, people, and giraffes use adaptations related to obtaining resources to survive. They will first review what adaptations are. Then the teacher will present information on one example animal together before having students work in groups to identify adaptations of the other two animals using a worksheet. If time allows, the class will watch a video on butterfly life cycles. The teacher will assess student understanding by observing their group work discussions of animal characteristics and adaptations.

    Review
    “For the past couple days in science, we have been talking all about adaptations. Can everyone say ‘adaptations’?
    Great! Can anyone tell me what an adaptation is? That’s right, an adaptation is a feature or characteristic that helps
    an animal survive in its habitat. So far we have looked at a bunch of different types of animals and how their specific
    adaptations help them survive either through structure, protection, and locomotive ways.”
    Overview
    “Today, we are going to learn about resource adaptations. Resource adaptations are adaptations that provide
    animals with supplies or features that are helpful for survival. Today we are going to focus on sharks, people, and
    giraffes! We are going to do the same thing we have done the past couple days so you should all be expert animal
    adaptation scientists now! We are going to look at the first animal together and come up with a list of characteristics
    that help it survive. Then, you will work with your groups to do the next two animals. When we are done talking with
    our table groups, we will go over the adaptations. If we have time at the end, we will watch a fun animal adaptation
    video!”
    Presentation
    1. Go over previous knowledge
    2. Go through the Powerpoint; addressing the standard, “I can” statement, and vocabulary
    3. Thursday worksheet
    4. Go over the worksheet as a class.
    5. Watch the butterfly life cycle video if there is time
    Exercise
    Students will work with their table groups to come up with a list of characteristics/adaptations of Sharks, People, and
    Giraffes and write it on their worksheet.

    Summary
    To wrap up the lesson, I will re-explain what adaptations are and will ask if there are any questions.

    Post Unit Plan Procedures


    Assessment
    Walk around from table to table while the students are working with their groups and observe/analyze their
    conversations about animal characteristics and adaptations.
    Intervention/Adaptation for Special Needs
    For ELL students, there will be pictures provided with vocabulary words to help understanding.
    Early Finishers
    When students finish early, they can list the adaptations and why they help the animal survive on their worksheets.
