Teaching Materials
Positives
- This video is an engaging way to learn how temperature changes affect an animal's ability to hibernate.
- The video includes a variety of fun characters, learning and investigating in a classroom setting.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should be familiar with terms like hibernation and temperature before watching the video.
- This resource requires access to the Internet.
Differentiation
- Challenge students to consider how shifts in seasons can affect other animals that rely on hibernation, seasonal changes, or migration.
- Although not mentioned in the video, discussing solutions to these temperature changes as a follow-up is recommended.
- Younger students may need to learn the vocabulary terms used prior to watching the video.
- Science classes could use this video when learning about animal adaptations, habitats, and the seasons.
- Follow the characters in their efforts to protect the environment by watching this video on plastic pollution and this video on composting.
This video centers around a group of friends, along with the green ninja, investigating temperature change and the effects on hibernating animals. This video would make a great addition to a classroom discussing climate change and the effects a warming planet has on animals that hibernate.
