Subtopic 1 : Animal adaptations
Key concept: Understanding how animals have evolved specific physical and behavioral traits to survive in their environments.
Inquiry - Based Activity: Students will observe different animals (Eg. bees and worms)and discuss how their adaptations (pollination and assistance)help us humans. (Adapted from Miller K.(2022).*The science of Animals )
Subtopic 2: Animal Ecosystems
Key concept: Exploring the roles animals play in ecosystems and their importance to humans
Inquiry - Based Activity: Students will research and present on different animal ecosystems, focusing on the benefits these animals provide to human society.(Source: Johnson ,A .(2023).
