Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars were lucky enough to travel to Wyoming and back -virtually of course! This skyping session took us to Yellowstone National Park to explore four different habitats and how different animals from each of these habitats adapts to its habitat in order to survive. Students journeyed through four habitats in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem – the alpine, forest, mountain meadow, and plains/basin environments. We visited immersive museum exhibits that highlighted animals in each of these unique habitats. Then the students compared the adaptations of animals like a grizzly bear, beaver, and raptor to those of animals in their own region. This was another wonderful learning experience for our second graders.
Essential Question
How do animals adapt to their environment both physically and behaviorally?
This video shows some of the learning that took place during our field trip.
