Animal Migration
动物迁徙
Description
Know that many animals make incredible journeys called migrations — Arctic terns fly from pole to pole, monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles across North America, wildebeest cross the Serengeti following rain, and humpback whales swim between polar feeding grounds and tropical breeding waters — and that these journeys are linked to food, breeding, and seasons
Mastery Evidence
- Defines migration as a regular long journey animals make
- Names at least 3 migratory animals with their routes or destinations
- Explains that migration is driven by food availability, breeding, or seasonal changes
Assessment Prompt
If your child learns about the monarch butterfly's journey, can they explain what migration means and name at least two other animals that make long journeys — and say why they travel?
