Animals in Action Grades 5-8

In these exciting life science activities, students observe small animals in a classroom "corral environment," then design their own humane investigations of animal behavior. Experiments are suggested with crickets, rats, guinea pigs, snails, or other small animals, using cardboard boxes and other common items. Students are introduced to the concept of stimulus and response, learn to distinguish observations from assumptions, and improve their ability to conduct and critique scientific investigations.
