Understanding Behavioral Adaptations in 8th Grade Science

This week in 8th grade science, students explore behavioral adaptations and homeostasis through various activities. Beginning with warm-up questions that relate personal experiences to survival behaviors, students will delve into identifying behaviors that assist organisms in adapting. Assignments include matching vocabulary terms with definitions, conducting the "Leaping Lizards" lab, and analyzing data related to temperature regulation. The focus extends to understanding migration patterns in animals. Reflection questions ensure students engage in deep thinking about the week’s lessons.
