Informatin Processing in Animals LP

This document provides a lesson plan for a 5th grade science class focusing on animal senses and responses. On Monday, students will take a pre-test to assess their current understanding. On Tuesday, students will explore how senses like smell help animals respond to dangers through activities like smelling scents and acting as meerkats. On Wednesday, students will create an imaginary animal and identify what senses it uses to survive. On Thursday, students will analyze animal senses and responses. The week will close with students reviewing key terms and completing homework on animal senses and responses.
