Lesson 4 Biological sciences GROWING AND CHANGING Lesson plan Introduction: 1. View the Instagram post from the Cincinnati Zoo at showing their hippopotamus family. Which ones are the parents? Which one is the offspring? How are they similar or different? Are they more similar than they are different? What other animals can you think of that are similar to their parents? QP Development: 2. As a class, explore other images from the zoo page at . Based on what they have observed, students choose which animals from the web page have offspring that look similar to them and write up a class list; e.g. rhinoceros, elephant, giraffe, tiger, chimpanzee, meerkat, otter, painted dog, squirrel. Note: Adult animals like the takin and flamingo are not similar to their offspring so should not be listed. PC PA 3. Refer to the animals in the list as mammals. Read through a simple explanation of mammals at . Discuss that humans are also mammals so, like humans, the offspring resemble their parents. The offspring go through three simple stages of development—birth, young, adult. PC 4. In pairs, students select one of the listed animals to research and explore how the animal looks at three different stages of its life: birth, young, adult. Students use a computer tablet to create a digital report. Students will need to find images to collate and write a description about the changes they can observe from the images, including size, colour and features. Suggested applications for the report include Seesaw, ShowMe and PowerPoint (see Resources). Students use page 17 to guide their enquiry and plan their digital report. PC PA C Differentiation: • Less capable students can record audio to describe the changes they see. • More capable students can write more detailed information for the different stages of the animal and research to find a fun fact about the animal as it becomes an adult. Reflection: 5. Students show their digital report to the class and upload it online for family and friends to view. C 6. Discuss any differences amongst those groups who researched the same animal.
