Winter Adaptations
With Fall here and Winter just around the corner, plants and animals are beginning to go through changes to prepare for the colder months. These changes make it a perfect time of the year to study and discuss animal behavior, seasonal changes and animal adaptations in your classroom.
To help, we've put together a Winter Adaptations resource for teacher's to use when creating a lesson plan.
WARD’S also has a variety of activities and supplies available to help teach these fascinating and relevant topics. Below are just a few of our featured products:
|
Season Cycler Lab Activity
Following a step-by-step procedure, students mark, label, and rotate the Earth to illustrate and answer questions on solar intensity, rotation and revolution, and angles of radiation, plus the resulting effects caused by the Earth’s tilting. Write-on, wipe-off materials allow students to reuse the activity repeatedly. $59.95

WARD’S Animal Behavior Lab Activity
By altering conditions that the included specimens are exposed to, such as moisture, habitat, light and more, students can observe changes in behavior and habitat selection. This activity utilizes WARD’S own two- and five-chamber behavior trays, which allow students to test several factors simultaneously. $59.95

Seasonal Demonstration Globe
Observe the Earth, tilted on its axis, as it rests on a disk divided into months and days of the month. The globe is half in, half out of a black plexiglas box, representing day and night. To see what part of the planet is tilted toward the sun, indicating which areas are experiencing warmer summer months, simply rotate the globe and disk to line up the day you choose with the stationary plastic indicator on the base, or you can rotate the globe by itself to demonstrate day/night. $65.00
