🐾🦁 Learning About Animal Adaptations & Classification! 🐢🦋 After completing our first Benchmark unit on Animal Adaptations and our first science unit on Animal Classification, our third graders put their learning into action through a PBL! 🔍📚 Students researched a specific animal, discovering fascinating facts, identifying the adaptations that help it survive in its environment, and learning how it is classified. To showcase their learning, students created their own “textbook” pages using a variety of text features to organize and share their information. From headings and captions to interesting facts and more, they demonstrated their knowledge in creative and meaningful ways! 📝✨
