2nd graders from Avon East develop a better understanding of adaptations by discussing how animals and insects adapt making them successful species. The staff at Michigan State University went through each of the five senses and demonstrated animals that have adapted to that particular sense.Once the students had a better understanding of adaptation each student was given a cricket in plastic container. On one side of a paper the students drew pictures of the crickets and colored parts that make them successful. After sharing their results the students are asked to draw crickets in an artic environment. The students had to create adaptations for the crickets to allow them to survive in their new environment.
All of the students did a great job with their crickets and the lesson.
