Building on that we will explore the ways animals communicate who they are, where they live and what they are up to. In the final week we will wrap up by answering the question why animals form groups? From ants to antelopes, we will observe animal groups and societies and how they enhance an animal’s survival and reproductive success.

Steps1. Learn about animal behavior and discover the specialized physical and behavioral adaptations that make them possible.2. Investigate the way that scientists study animal behavior.3. Make connections between the material we are learning and the real Zoo animals that use these behaviors.4. Make new friends and discover our voices as we engage in classroom discussions.
