Squirrels!
In my household we have now a little bit of a love/hate relationship with squirrels. We hate that they take a lot meals from our chook feeders. However we do like to look at them and my daughters do take pleasure in studying These Darn Squirrels! That is why I used to be intrigued when SciShow Children launched a brand new video all about squirrels.
Stupendous Squirrel Storage is a SciShow Children video all about how squirrels discover meals, retailer meals, and the function of that course of within the ecosystem. Take a couple of minutes to look at it and also you would possibly end up with a brand new appreciation for these pesky squirrels.
Purposes for Schooling
Earlier than watching the video I might ask college students to consider how animals like squirrels discover and retailer meals. After watching the video I might ask them if they will consider different animals that discover and retailer meals in a fashion much like that of squirrels.
Watching the video additionally jogged my memory of a worldwide nature remark challenge known as Challenge Squirrel that’s nonetheless open to contributions from lecture rooms.
