Creature Features (iSEE Outreach)

This 45-minute program focuses on making observations, using simple scientific language, and Utah’s habitats and the adaptations plants and animals have that help them survive there.

Using a live animal, pelts, mounts, skulls and other plant and animal artifacts, ONC staff will teach students the various adaptations of native Utah plants and wildlife. Through exploration, students will discover the similarities and difference between plants and animals found in the desert, forest, and wetland habitats. The presentation ends with an up-close interaction with a live reptile.

Along with this presentation, we provide 5 pre-made lesson plans which go deeper into the SEEd strand 1.2. There are also 3 videos and additional resources to help teachers cover this strand with their students.
