Students will explore diverse animal habitats virtually through images and videos, observe how various species use their body parts and senses to react to environmental stimuli, and compile their observations in a class discussion to better understand animal survival mechanisms.

Students will synthesize their research findings to form a clear and actionable problem statement that highlights how animals use their body structures and sensory organs to process information and survive in changing environments.

Students will brainstorm and sketch diverse models showcasing unique animal sensory organs, exploring how these contribute to survival in various environments through collaboration and creative thinking sessions.

Students will build and refine physical or digital models to demonstrate how animals use their sensory organs to receive and process environmental information, testing and iterating their designs to reflect accurate survival mechanisms.

Students will test their animal models by presenting them to peers and teachers, demonstrating how the models represent the sensory and response mechanisms essential for survival, adaptation, and environmental interaction.
