Video Learning Notes

Animals use their senses to gather different types of information from their environment. This information is sent to the brain, which processes it and helps the animal decide how to respond. Responses can vary depending on the animal and the situation. Using models helps us understand this flow of information from senses to brain to response. Through observation, investigation, and modeling, students learn how animals interact with their environment to survive and thrive.

Learning Goals

• Describe how animals use their senses to receive different types of information from their environment.
• Explain how animals process sensory information in their brain to make decisions.
• Use a model to show how animals respond to information received through their senses.
• Ask scientific questions and plan investigations related to animal senses and responses.
• Collect and organize observations and data about animal behavior and sensory input.
