🎓 Animal science lessons
Five big ideas, five minutes each. I read every step out loud, then there’s a quiz, a page to draw on and something to try at home.
- 🦊 Animal adaptations (Grades 2–4) A free animal adaptations lesson for kids, read aloud: how fur, ears, feet and colors help animals live where they live, with a quiz and printables.
- 🦋 Animal life cycles (Grades 1–3) A free life cycle lesson for kids, read aloud: how a butterfly and a frog change as they grow, with a quiz, a life cycle drawing page and a try-at-home card.
- 🌿 Food chains (Grades 3–5) A free food chain lesson for kids, read aloud: the Sun, plants, plant-eaters, meat-eaters and decomposers, with examples, a quiz and printables.
- 🐘 Animal groups (Grades 1–4) A free lesson on animal groups for kids, read aloud: what makes a mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian or fish, and animals with no backbone, with a quiz.
- 🦴 Fossils (Grades 2–4) A free fossils lesson for kids, read aloud: how bones turn to stone, what footprints and rock layers tell us, with a quiz, a drawing page and a fossil to make at home.
For teachers: each lesson lists its Next Generation Science Standards code. They are also on Peabody Teach.
