In this lesson, children will learn the difference between instinct and learned behavior, as well as the connection between animals' environment and behavior--two things which I think children are interested in but that we really talk about with them. The bulk of the lesson has students researching different animals and keeping logs of their behaviors, but for younger children, they offer the adaptation of coming up with a class list of behaviors for different animals and discussing how those behaviors are helpful to survival.
