This kindergarten-level activity aligns with NGSS K-ESS2-2, where students explore how animals modify their environment to meet survival needs. In 'How Animals Change Their Environment,' children categorize actions into 'Shelter-Building' and 'Group Behaviors,' using examples such as beaver dams, bird nests, and fish schooling. The activity introduces foundational concepts in ecosystems and habitats, helping students understand animal behaviors and their impact on the environment. This engaging word sort builds vocabulary and supports science learning with a hands-on approach to nature studies.
