Never, EVER Shout in a Zoo by Karma Wilson
Science: Animal Classification
Many different kinds of animals live at the zoo (ask your student to
list all the animals he remembers from the book). You may want to
write down the animals your student remembers. Can your student group the
animals? Ask him to group them in different ways (animals that can fly vs.
animals that can't; animals with two legs vs. animals with four; animals who
live in water vs. animals who live on land; etc.) Tell your student that scientists have
grouped animals in a special way-- they've grouped animals based on their similarities and differences. One
of these groups in the Animal Kingdom is called Vertebrates. Within the
classification Vertebrates (animals with backbones-- show your student his
backbone and let him find your backbone), there are five different
categories:
Mammal
Reptile
Bird
Amphibian
Fish
Discuss these different categories with your student starting with the easiest
two-- bird and fish. How do we know an animal is a bird? What kind
of characteristics can we note? (feathers, it can fly, it has a beak, lays
eggs, builds a nest, etc.) What kind of characteristics does a fish have?
(lives in the water, has scales, breathes through gills). Tell your
student that there are a few other groups, too. Discuss using the
lists below. Use the
Vertebrate Characteristic Chart
to
reinforce the concepts learned in this lesson. Your older student may want
to make five matchbooks (one for each
type of vertebrate) for her lapbook.
Reptiles
The word reptile means "to creep"
scales
breathe air
usually lay eggs
cold-blooded (body
temperature depends on the temperature of their environment)
Reptile Extremes
(this information may make a fun minit book for your older
student)
Mammal
covered with fur/hair
warm blooded
usually give live birth
nourish their young with milk
breathe
air with lungs
More Mammal
Information
Amphibian
spend part of their lives under water (using gills to breathe)
spend the remainder of their lives on land (using lungs to breathe)
cold-blooded (body temperature depends on the temperature of their environment)
all have porous skin, most have slimy skin (keep their skin healthy with a moist
layer of mucus)
lay eggs
Bird
have wings
lays eggs
have feathers
have a beak (no teeth)
strong, hollow bones
powerful flight muscles
a skeleton in which many bones are fused together or are absent
Fish
live in water
cold-blooded
most fish breathe using gills
most have scales
most lay eggs, but a few give live birth
Zoo Animal Riddles Book
This is a fun minit book to include in your lapbook. You can use it to
discuss rhyme, and it also can be used for some handwriting practice for your
younger student.
Zoo Animal Riddles (minit book)
Note: If you are choosing not to use the book, Zany Zoo for this unit, you
may want to teach the rhyme lesson with this book.
If Anything Ever Goes Wrong at the Zoo by Mary Jean Hendrick
Occupations: Zookeeper
In this story Leslie encounters many of the animal keepers. What
do animal keepers and people who work at the zoo do all day? They stay
busy feeding animals, cleaning their living spaces, and working to keep them
healthy. Zookeepers observe the animals to see if they are sick or
hurt; they also keep records for each animal and tell a veterinarian if there is
a problem. Sometimes the keepers get to give the animals objects to play
with and explore; they also hide food for the animals to find. A keeper
may train an animal as well; this helps caring for the animal easier. An
example of this would be training an elephant to lift its feet so their feet can
be checked. You've probably also encountered a zookeeper who is teaching
people at the zoo about animals. They answer questions and give
presentations in order to help you learn more about the animals.
(Source; be sure to visit this website if your
student is interested in learning more about being a zookeeper.)
After you read the information about zookeepers (or if you have the opportunity,
some library books about zookeepers), have your student record what he has
learned in the
Zookeeper Hot Dog Book
for his lapbook; follow these
instructions for how to fold a hot-dog book.
Science: Animal Homes
Each animal in the story has specific needs at the zoo. This is
true in the wild, too. Different animals live in different places of the
world and have different kinds of houses. Discuss some of these with your
student. Most of this information comes from Kidport where you can find even more animal home information if your student
is interested.
Animal Homes
Cards by kizclub for your younger student to match (if you're making a lapbook,
include a pocket for these cards with the words animal homes on the front)
Nests
Most people think of birds as the ones who build nests, but other animals
live in nests as well. Nests are made as a home for the animal and its
eggs. Many nests are bowl shaped and found in trees, but some animals
build their nests on the ground, in buildings, and in other places. Nests
are formed from twigs, leaves, grass, and even other materials such as yarn or
string; they are held together with mud or saliva.
Lapbook Minit book to record information in--
Animal Homes Nests (shape book)
Your older student can write information about nests/animals who build nests in
the book; your younger student may want to use the blank eggs to draw/paste
pictures of nest-builders.
Caves
Cave Dwellers hot-dog minit book
Cut out the cave dwellers booklet and follow these
instructions for how to fold a hot-dog book
Read and discuss the following information about animals who live in caves.
Let your student record facts or pictures in the hot-dog minit book.
Bats
Bats. being nocturnal animals, come out at night in search of food.
Oftentimes, they make their homes in caves-- a nice place to block sunlight so
they can sleep during the day. They hang upside down from the roof of a
cave (or a hollow tree) by hooking their feet into the cracks.
Sea Creatures
Plenty of sea creatures can be found in caves underwater. Crabs and
sea urchins bury themselves in the rocks. The morey eel likes to live in
the small holes of a coral reef; hiding in the holes allows the eel to quickly
emerge and grab passing fish for a meal.
Bears
Some bears of the world like to live in mountainous areas where a cave can
provide shelter.
Trees
Animals often make homes in old hollowed out trees. The tree provides both
shelter and protection from other animals and predators.
Who Lives in a Tree (small
accordion
book) If you want, you can make this book into a tree for your lapbook.
Your older student can write information in this book; your younger student may
want to fill it with a collage of pictures.
To assemble this book, cut the book out as one piece. Fold on the dotted
lines, so you have an accordion. You can choose whether or not you want
your student to write the title on or you can use the pre-written title (who
lives in a tree). Color the front of the accordion book brown. This
is going to be your tree trunk. Let your student cut a shape (that
resembles the top of a tree-- like a cloud) out of green paper (if you don't
have green, you can let him color some white paper). Glue the shape down
to the lapbook. Glue the back of the accordion in your lapbook overlapping
the green tree top until your student approves of how it looks. Now, you
have your tree!
Owls
Most owls prefer to live in wooded areas, so a tree is the obvious choice;
however some owls find an old church steeple or old building to live in.
Monkeys
Monkey's fingers and toes are well adapted for living in trees, allowing them to
run and swing from branch to branch.
Snakes
Some snakes, such as the green tree python live in trees. The Green Mamba
of Africa, also live in trees; hanging out in trees helps them catch their
dinner (lizards, bird's eggs, and small rodents).
Science: Animal Diets
Part of the zoo keeper's job is to feed the animals. Do you remember what
the monkeys in the story ate? All animals can not/do not eat the same
food. What do different animals eat?
Use this activity sheet with your younger student--
What Do They Eat?
from Kizclub
Discuss the following information with your older student:
Some animals are herbivores. This means they only eat plants.
Other animals are carnivores meaning they feast on meat (remember, insects are
animals/meat).
And, another category are omnivores-- they eat plants AND animals! (Are
you an omnivore?)
Let your student research a few different animals to discover who eats what.
Use the
Animal Diet Venn Diagram to
record your answers.
This may also lead into a rabbit trail discussion on food chains.
Science: Your Own Zoo!
If you could bring home zoo animals, who would you choose? Let
your student pick some animals to put in his own zoo (if you are going to use
the minit book mentioned below, have your student choose four animals). Have him research
what type of home/habitat they would need; help him decide how he would
construct it (dream big!); what would he feed the animals? (he will need
to research this as well). Any other special needs? Record his
answers in this
If I Ran the Zoo minit book.
There are four separate sections for your student to write in. He can
write the names of the animals on each outer flap (triangle) and the collected
information (and creative information) in the area underneath the flap.
My Visit to the Zoo by
Aliki
Science: Biomes/Animal Habitats
Many different kinds of environments exist on planet earth. These
environments vary in temperature and precipitation which lead to varying plant
and animal life found in each area. The areas can be grouped according to
the complex communities created by the climate and plants and animals that
reside in each area; we call these communities biomes.
You may want to supplement this lesson with library books about various biomes.
As your student begins to understand what each different biome is like, have him
record notes into this layered book; you can
print this on various colors of paper if you like. Simply cut it out and
stack it in order (smallest to largest) and staple at the top). I've
included sections in the layer book for tundra, forests (make sure he includes
all three), deserts, grasslands, and aquatic. I do not discuss aquatic
biomes in the lesson below because they are so diverse. You could leave
this page off the book if you'd like or you can research various aquatic biomes
(swamp, march, pond, coral reef, ocean, etc ) and learn about those, too.
If your student is ready, let him do the researching on his own.
Preschool Sheet--
Where do they live? (from Kizclub)
Tundra
This region is also known as the arctic and consumes the area around the
north and south poles. The temperatures are extremely low keeping the land
frozen all year. This land is barren-- very little plant life lives in
this habitat (some shrubs, sedges, mosses, lichens and grasses) and the animals
have adapted to live in this extreme cold. Some of the animals you
will find in this region include caribou, musk-oxen, wolverines, wolves, artic
foxes, polar bears, snowshoe rabbits, lemmings, sandpipers, and plovers.
Forests
This region can be separated into three different regions: coniferous forests, deciduous forests, and rainforests.
1. Taiga/Coniferous Forest
The taiga is the largest biome in the world and also referred to as the coniferous forest
or boreal forest. This region is close to the tundra and still has
extremely low temperatures and low precipitation. These forests include
needle-leaf trees and produce cones (such as pinecones). These evergreens
have waxy needles that help protect them in the extreme temperatures of winter. There is limited animal and plant
diversity because of the cold temperatures. The animals in this
habitat are either equipped to live within these temperatures, or
they were designed with the knowledge and ability to migrate south during the
harsh winter months. Animals of the taiga include many predators like the
lynx, wolverine, bobcat, mink, and ermine. They hunt the herbivores of the
taiga-- snowshoe rabbits, red squirrels, and voles. You may also find red
deer, elk, and moose in the regions of the taiga that include more deciduous
trees.
2.
Deciduous Forest
A deciduous tree is a tree that loses its leaves during the winter months.
Deciduous forests are filled with these types of trees. These kinds
of forests are found all over the world-- the eastern half of North America, the
middle of Europe, all over Asia (southwest Russia, Japan, and eastern China),
South America (Chili and Middle East coast of Paraguay), New Zealand, and
southeastern Australia.
This biome gets to experience all
four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter (unlike the taiga and tundra who
only experience summer and winter). Due to this biome's temperate
climate, animals and plant life are plentiful. Animals you may
find in the deciduous forest include: fox, ant, frog, mallard duck,
earthworm, cardinal, muskrat, brown bear, deer, bald eagle, beaver, rabbit,
raccoon, squirrel, black bear, turkey, and many more.

3.
Rainforest
The tropical rainforest is located close to the equator; this is where the greatest amount
of rain falls in the world-- often more than 100 inches yearly. Temperatures remain high
throughout the year rarely dropping below 68 °F (20 °C). This
region more plant and animal life than any other.
Rain Forest Animals
Grasslands
Grasslands are also known as savannas, plains, steppes, prairies, and
pampas. They are usually the regions found between forests and
deserts. These areas are covered with -- GRASS! You will also find a
few trees and shrubs scattered about. The temperatures vary from location
to location with several short wet seasons. Some common animals in
the grasslands are Coyotes, Eagles, Bobcats, the Gray Wolf, Wild Turkey, Fly
Catcher, Canadian Geese, Crickets, Dung Beetle, Bison, and Prairie Chicken.
Deserts
The desert regions cover about 20% of the world and are considered the
harshest environment of all. This is due to little rainfall and extreme
temperatures. Usually temperatures change from season to season, but in
the desert , they change from very hot days to very cold nights.
Because of the environment, little plant and animal life exist in the
desert. You could expect to find a various types of burrowing animals,
snakes and other reptiles, birds, insects, and arachnids.
Please note:
This is not an all inclusive section of biome information. Different
sources vary on the major biomes of the world. Other biomes (not included
here) are
Cave- Terrestrial
Chaparral (or scrub)
Alpine (mountainous regions)
If your student is very interested in biomes, please help him find the necessary
resources to research and learn more.
Science: Endangered Animals
This book devotes some time
discussing endangered animals. An endangered animal is one whose species
is in danger of extinction. Ask your student to try to think of ways that
you can help endangered animals. She may need some prompting from you, but
help her try to think of some solutions for this problem. Also, if you go
to the zoo, be sure to discuss this question with the zoo keepers if you have
the opportunity.
You can help protect endangered animals. Here are a few ways how
1. When you visit a park or nature reserve, talk to the ranger to find out
if there are any threatened species. Ask how you can help the rangers with
their conservation work. Make sure you follow the wildlife code at the
park: follow fire regulations; leave your pets at home; leave flowers,
birds’ eggs, logs and bush rocks where you find them; throw your trash away in a
plastic bag and take it home to dispose of it.
2. Build a birdfeeder for your neighborhood birds.
3. Remove weeds and plant native plants. Native grasses, flowers,
shrubs and trees are more likely to attract native birds, butterflies and other
insects, and maybe even some threatened species.
4. Compost in your own backyard, so you can use that in your garden
instead of chemical fertilizers which are harmful to animals
5. Recycle your trash. Try to reduce the amount of garbage and waste
your family produces.
You have two lapbooking options for this lesson. You can make an
Endangered Animals
tab
book in which your student compiles information about three endangered animals
(or three ways to help endangered animals, or you can use this
Endangered Animals
triangle book. In this book, your student will write the definition for
endangered and extinct. She will also compile a list of endangered animals
and a list of ways to help endangered animals. When you paste this book
into your lapbook, you should make sure that the phrase "ways I can help" is on
the bottom triangle.
Mammals: Primates
The book mentions primates on the first few pages. Discuss primates with your student.
Primates are intelligent mammals who mostly live in trees; they are also known
for their forward facing eyes (which allow them to see in three dimensions and
to judge distances), their opposable thumbs (they can reach out and touch the
tips of their other fingers which allows them to hold objects; not all primates
have this ability). There are two main groups of primates-- lower primates
(lemurs, bushbabies, and tarsiers) and higher primates (monkeys and apes).
Many people generalize the higher primates into one group referring to all
higher primates as monkeys; however, higher primates are split into three unique groups (which is what we will focus on
for this lesson) and include monkeys and apes.
1. New World Monkeys
-found in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America
-broad, flat noses
-nostrils that face sideways
-a distinctive arrangement of teeth
-prehensile tail (works as an extra limb)
-most are diurnal (wake during the daylight hours)
-diet includes leaves, fruit, nuts, other parts of plants; some eat insects or
small animals (such as lizards and baby birds)
-can live alone or among others in small or large groups
-thumbs (when present) are not highly opposable
-includes spider monkeys, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, marmosets, tamarins,
and uakaris (among others)
2. Old World Monkeys
-found in Africa and Asia (other than the Barbary found in Europe)
-nostrils that stick out and face downward
-some live in trees, some forage on the ground
-tails (if present) are not prehensile
-most are diurnal
-thumbs on both limbs (arms and legs) are highly opposable-- they help grasp and
hold objects (that would be like us being able to use our toes like our thumbs!)
-includes baboons, Red colobus, Mandrill, Douc langur, Gelada, King colobus,
Redtail monkey, Vervet monkey, and others
3. Apes
-most intelligent primates
-found in Africa and Asia
-spend many years looking after their young
-they can sit or stand upright
-have barrel chests and shorter spines than Old World Monkeys
-arms are longer than their legs
-great apes include chimpanzee, bonobo, gorillas, and orangutan
-lesser apes include gibbons

Primates
Flip-Flap Book
Zany Zoo by William Wise
Note: this book was added for those who would like additional language
arts lessons; it's a fun read aloud, and while I think students of all ages will
enjoy it, your older students will especially find it funny. Sometimes
you'll shake your head, sometimes you'll scratch your head, and other times you
will laugh out loud!
Use your own discretion, but you may only want to use the first lesson with your
younger student.
Rhyming Words
Choose one of the poems to read with your student. When you are
finished, read the poem again emphasizing the rhyming words. Read it one
more time and stop before each rhyming word-- prompt your student to fill in the
"blank" for you. Many poems (especially children's poems or fun
poems) use rhyming words at the end of lines; our ears like the way rhyme works!
It helps us remember things; it's also just plain fun.
Try playing this rhyming word memory game with your student; it's like regular
memory (or concentration) except that you have to find two words that rhyme
instead of two cards that are the same. For an extra challenge, tell your
student he has to think of ANOTHER word that rhymes with the two cards before he
can win the pair (and, of course, when it's your turn, you must do the same).
For another variation, have your student use the two words in a sentence
together before he can win the pair. If you don't want to play the
memory game, you could simply allow your student to match them up in rhymes
(while looking at all the cards) and make sentences with the matches.
Rhyme Cards for
Game (You could make a pocket in your lapbook
to store your cards)
Puns
The poems in this book abound with puns!
A pun is the humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest different
meanings or of words having the same sound but different meanings. Some
examples from the poems in the book are listed below.
| Poem | Pun | |
| "Daisy" | melon collie | melancholy |
| "Lambert the Lion" | lion | lying |
| "Rob the Raccoon" | every crowd has a real silver lining | every cloud has a silver lining |
| "Lulu" | it pays to have good scents | it pays to have good sense |
| "A Big Family" | otter confusion | utter confusion |
| "Pedro the Panda" | panda-monium | pandemonium |
Alliteration
William Wise chose to alliterate many of the poem titles in this book
(and the title-- Zany Zoo).
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound. Look through
with your student and point out some examples. Can your student find some
examples as well?
"Lambert the Lion"
"Young Yuri, the Yak"
"Rob the Racoon"
"Harry the Horse"
"Pedro the Panda"
Think of some zoo animals. Try to make titles out of their names that
include three or more alliterated words such as "Kate the crazy kangaroo" or
"Sam the super star snake"; have fun! You could also use this prepared
minit book,
Zoo Animal Alliterations,
to record your student's alliterations. After you've completed the
lesson, cut all the pieces out, stack them together, and punch a small hole in
one end. Secure a brad fastener in the hole. You can make a pocket
in your lapbook to put this fanbook in.
Limerick
"Young Yuri, the Yak" is a limerick, a humorous poem five lines long in
which the first, second, and fifth lines have one rhyme while the third and
fourth lines have another. Edward Lear made this type of poetry popular,
and you may enjoy reading some other limericks with your student. There
are generally nine syllables in the first, second lines, and fifth lines with
six syllables in the third and fourth lines. Have your student help you
count the number of syllables in "Young Yuri, the Yak"-- how many in each line?
Many limericks also often include internal rhyme, alliteration, and
assonance. In early limericks, the last line often essentially repeated the
first, though that is no longer customary.
Write a poem
Maybe your student will be inspired to write his own animal poem after
reading Zany Zoo. Encourage your older student to write at least one
limerick. Be sure to add your poem(s) to your lapbook or notebook.
You can also encourage your student to use puns and/or alliteration depending on
which lessons you studied.
Vocabulary
This book abounds with great vocabulary words. Let your older student choose
2-4 of his favorite poems from the book; ask him if he knows what all the words
mean. Which ones does he not know? Let him make his own vocabulary
lesson (help him use a dictionary to find the answers to the unknown words).
You may even want to include a Zany Zoo Vocabulary Pocket
in your lapbook.
Additional Lessons and Activities
Geography: Animal World Map
Your student may enjoy browsing an animal atlas. See library list for
suggested titles.
Project: Make an Animal World Map
After you and your student have finished looking at the animal atlas
together, tell her you are going to make a little animal atlas. Print
World Map File
(It includes a world map on a two page spread plus animal clip art and continent
names for cutting/pasting). Cut out the two pieces of the world map and
glue or tape them together. Help your student (as needed) cut out the
continent names and clip-art; paste them in the appropriate places using your
animal atlas as needed.
Here are the names of the animals provided in the file
North America-- bald eagle, bison
South America- llama, toucan
Europe- badger, marmot
Australia- kangaroo, platypus
Antarctica (you will have to draw this on your world map)- penguin
Asia- tiger, camel, panda bear
Africa- flamingo, elephant, lion
Your student may also want to add pictures of whales, dolphins, fish, etc. to
the oceans of the world. Here are some more animal clips to
add to your map, if desired.
Advanced Option:
Let your student use a copy of the world map from the printable file listed
above and label the seven continents. He may also enjoy making his own
animal map. Have him choose some animals from the atlas and draw them on
plain white paper. Cut out the animals and glue them in the appropriate
places.
Copywork: Poetry and Bible Verses
Read the following passage to your student. Discuss. Determine
what your favorite animals are that God made. Talk about the variety that
God made. Does your student know any amazing animal trivia? Discuss
how this points to intelligent design.
You can also use portions of this passage for copywork each day; you will be able to
find many pages in the Zoo Notebooking Pages to suit your copywork needs.
Genesis 1:20- 25
Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.” God created the
great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters
swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that
it was good. God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” There was evening and
there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living
creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth
after their kind”; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their
kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground
after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
Here is a poem that you may want to consider for copywork (use portions for your
younger student; see ideas below):
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings...
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
Cecil Frances Alexander
Ideas for younger student
"then God said Let the waters teem with swarms of
living creatures..."
"God created every winged bird after its kind."
"God made the beasts of the earth after their kind."
"God saw that it was good."
All creatures great and small...
The Lord God made them all.
Ideas for older students
"God created the great sea monsters and every living
creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind; and God saw
that it was good."
"God said...let birds fly above the earth in the open
expanse of the heavens."
"God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their
kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that
it was good."
