Designed for grades K-5 and to be done at home or with small groups, this interactive multi-activity mini-course introduces children to the reasons animals migrate and the fascinating strategies they use to do so. The mini-course includes a richly illustrated story-based lesson as well as games, activities, and projects that appeal to all types of learners.
Children are introduced to the concept of animal migrations in The Migration Awards, a hands-on, illustrated story activity, where they can help figure out the reasons various animals migrate. Children can then create migration maps for an animal of their own choosing with the included Research Journal and map worksheets. Two of the most well-known migrating animals are further explored with the included board game, where children follow the life cycle of a Pacific Salmon, and the guide to becoming involved in the international Monarch butterfly Citizen Science project (Field Journal pages included.) Children are also given the opportunity to flap their own wings and experience what it's like to be a member of a migrating flock of geese.
Most materials needed to complete the mini-course can be cut from the book itself (or, if preferred, downloaded and printed using an included link). The mini-course requires only a few additional common household items to complete the activities: Scissors, glue, game markers (coins, beans, or markers from a different game), one die (or spinner from a different game), crayons (or markers or colored pencils), yarn or string, bath towel (one for each child), timer, electric fan.
Upon completing the mini-course, children will be provided with links to additional online resources and will earn new concept badges for their Science Tool Kit (included in the mini-course)-including migration, sightings, feeding grounds, breeding grounds, and spawning grounds.
