Learning Scenario:
|
Animal behavior is interesting to people of all ages. Animals do not have
boundaries and laws like humans do and yet their behavior seems to be guided
by unspoken rules of survival. When animals migrate, how do they know where
they are going? People use compasses, clocks, and maps to travel from one
place to another. On the other hand, animals use their instincts and
environmental clues to travel. This unit will increase student knowledge
about how human behavior worldwide impacts the animal population.
