Examining
Mammals challenges students to discover the identities
of five mystery mammals by studying their skulls, teeth, fur, feet,
tracks, and scat. Students examine the component parts of each animal,
make close observations, collect and analyze data, formulate hypotheses,
and by reasoning from the evidence, come to conclusions about the identities
of the five mammals.
This 6 - 8 week unit is standards-based. It engages students on two
closely intertwined levels: they learn significant mammal-related content
and at the same time they become more aware of the inquiry processes
they practiced to learn it.
The kit includes
the materials pictured below, including a classroom set of 30 journals.
