Positives

This interactive resource can be utilized in several ways to get students excited about learning.
The maps are easy to read and work with.

Additional Prerequisites

Students should be able to read maps and simple data sets.

Differentiation

This resource can be used in science classes working on ecosystems, species, or migration, or in social studies classes focusing on geography and mapping.
This resource could be used in a single lesson or checked throughout the year to monitor the migrations of one or more species.
Try dividing students into groups to be responsible for tracking one of the species throughout the school year. They can track their movements on a paper map, record the dates, and write about why the animals migrate.
For additional context or to extend the lesson, connect this topic with changes to animal migrations due to climate change. This video could be a great resource for students to explore.
To enhance this connection, have students review this other interactive map from the Nature Conservancy that shows possible climate-altered migratory paths for a number of species.
