Adaptations
This is a fabulous game for students to use to practice identifying what need is being met by an adaptation. The student can play over and over again each time getting different sets of animals.
Las adapciónes de los animales.
Critters
In this game students match one animal with another animal of the same classification (ie: match a dog with a cat because both are mammals). Then students answer a question about what animals of that classification have in common. This is a simple game, but still a great way to quickly review basic animal classification. This would also be useful to work with special education students.
Sources of Sound
Sources of sound-background, information about sound
Structures of Life
The student is able to practice identifying the steps in the life cycles of a variety of organisms. After completing the first one, students choose which organism they want: Abalone, Lady Bug, Brine Shrimp, Butterfly, Coconut, or Fern. Note: You may want to guide students to a specific organism based on the online curriculum.
