5th Grade Zoo Field Trip Lesson Plan
Trip to the Zoo: Day 11
TOPIC/SUBJECT AREA: A trip to the local zoo to practice and put together all the different systems and traits that we have been learning about animals.
GRADE LEVEL: 5th grade
DURATION OF LESSON: One whole school day
GLCEs: • L.OL.05.41 Identify the general purpose of selected animal systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, nervous, excretory, and reproductive).
• L.HE.05.12 Distinguish between inherited and acquired traits.
• L.EV.05.11 Explain how behavioral characteristics (adaptation, instinct, learning, habit) of animals help them survive in their environment.
• S.RS.05.15 Demonstrate scientific concepts through various illustrations, performances, models, exhibits, and activities.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. The student will summarize the digestive system as the system that absorbs the nutrients from food that is consumed in an animals’ body and helps to eliminate unwanted materials from the body. (L.OL.05.41) 2. The student will identify three different types of the digestive system as avian, ruminant, and monogastric. (L.OL.05.41) 3. The student will characterize poultry and other birds as having the avian digestive system. (L.OL.05.41) 4. The student will characterize the monogastric system has having one simple stomach. (L.OL.05.41) 5. The student will characterize the ruminant digestive system has a large stomach divided into four compartments that are: abomasum, omasum, reticulum, and rumen. (L.OL.05.41) 6. The student will describe the respiratory system as the system that takes oxygen into the body from the atmosphere and releases carbon dioxide from the body back into the environment. (L.OL.05.41) 7. The student will recognize that birds have a respiratory system that has lungs that have an opening at one end to allow new air to enter and an opening at the other end to allow used air to exit the lungs. (L.OL.05.41)
