My lab mates and I wrote a lesson plan for 3rd-5th graders to learn about animal sensation and magnetoreception. The lesson is split into 5 activities, which takes ~90min. We designed this lesson to explore how animals perceive the world differently than humans. Students will learn about the ecology of sensory systems and how it relates to an animal’s unique environment. We also dive in to how animal’s can rely on Earth’s magnetic field to find their way. Students will learn about magnetic fields and how to use a compass and map to give directions. We hope this will be a fun interdisciplinary lesson to combine physical and life science.
