Key vocabulary is defined for students during the video.
Students have visual representations of different types of animal species.
Prerequisites
Teachers may want to supply students with a graphic organizer containing the key vocabulary discussed during the video.
Teachers may want to create skeleton notes for students to fill out during the video with key takeaways.
Teachers may want to use visual/picture cards for any of the different animal species discussed in the video for students to refer back to.
Differentiation & Implementation
Teachers may want to consider slowing down the playback speed in order for students to take notes and/or define the vocabulary along with the video.
The video discusses adaptations that animals make to the cold winter months. In order for students to make a personal connection, teachers may want to brainstorm ways humans also have to adapt to the cold weather. Using a Venn diagram, students can see if they can make any connections between humans and animals in the ways they adapt.
To connect the idea of hibernation and migration to climate change, teachers may use the video Sleep Barry for students to better understand the effects of global warming on animals during the winter.
