Animals in Winter
Webquest
Designed for students in
3rd Grade
By Mandy Bishop
Let’s Begin!
We live in Northern New York
which gets very cold in the
winter!
What do you do to prepare
for the cold winter? Do you:
• Wear warm clothes?
• Heat your house?
• Eat warm foods?
• Use blankets?
• What do animals do to
prepare for the winter?
What We’ll Learn
During the winter, animals do one of
three things to prepare themselves:
•
Hibernate
• Migrate
• Adapt
After we study Animals in Winter we will:
•
define Hibernation, Migration, and
Adaptation
• make a chart about Animals in
Winter
• write an Animals in Winter fact piece
