Join Squeaks and Jessi as they learn about a time when lots of animals switched places -- like bears, sloths, armadillos, and more.
Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda (she/her/they/them)
Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Ideas:
LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans - There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water (2-LS4-1).
ESS1.C: The History of Planet Earth - Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over a time period much longer than one can observe (2-ESS1-1).
ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions - Maps show where things are located. One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area. (2-ESS2-2)
Performance Expectations:
2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
2-ESS1-1 Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.
2-ESS2-2 Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area.
Third Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Idea:
LS4.A: Evidence of Common Ancestry and Diversity - Some kinds of plants and animals that once lived on Earth are no longer found anywhere. Fossils provide evidence about the types of organisms that lived long ago and also about the nature of their environments. (3-LS4-1)
Performance Expectation:
3-LS4-1 Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
