Lesson Plan on Migration - Lesson Plans from Movies and Film - Nomadism - Dormancy - Science
This lesson plan can be used to: (1) introduce students to migration, nomadism, and dormancy: important classifications used to describe how living organisms adapt to their environment; (2) acquaint students with many of the concepts biologists use to describe those behaviors; (3) work with the scientific vocabulary and explore the derivation of some technical terms used to describe migration, nomadism, and dormancy; (4) confirm the use of the taxonomy for animal species; (5) discuss the use of ultralight aircraft to reestablish lost migration patterns among birds; and (6) provide an example of the process by which government can act through NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act). The lesson plan contains lecture notes with discussion questions, an extensive student handout, numerous illustrations and visual aids, two comprehension tests with answer keys, a vocabulary sheet, curriculum standards for the eleven most populous states, and more.
