INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
After experiencing ALLI AND #3, students will understand how human activity impacts the natural world and that living things must adapt and/or migrate to survive. Students will be able to: (1) explain the difference between weather and climate, (2) offer examples of different types of habitats and organisms found in those habitats, (3) understand that human activity causes changes in the environment, (4) offer examples of animals adapting and/or migrating to survive adverse circumstances, and (5) understand how cooperation can lead to solutions to problems that would be impossible to achieve individually.
