Books with title Animal Migration

Designed for grades K–5 and to be done at home or with small groups, this interactive multi-activity mini-course introduces children to the reasons animals migrate and the fascinating strategies they use to do so. The mini-course includes a richly illustrated story-based lesson as well as games, activities, and projects that appeal to all types of learners. Children are introduced to the concept of animal migrations in The Migration Awards, a hands-on, illustrated story activity, where they can help figure out the reasons various animals migrate. Children can then create migration maps for an animal of their own choosing with the included Research Journal and map worksheets. Two of the most well-known migrating animals are further explored with the included board game, where children follow the life cycle of a Pacific Salmon, and the guide to becoming involved in the international Monarch butterfly Citizen Science project (Field Journal pages included.) Children are also given the opportunity to flap their own wings and experience what it’s like to be a member of a migrating flock of geese. Most materials needed to complete the mini-course can be cut from the book itself (or, if preferred, downloaded and printed using an included link). The mini-course requires only a few additional common household items to complete the activities: Scissors, glue, game markers (coins, beans, or markers from a different game), one die (or spinner from a different game), crayons (or markers or colored pencils), yarn or string, bath towel (one for each child), timer, electric fan. Upon completing the mini-course, children will be provided with links to additional online resources and will earn new concept badges for their Science Tool Kit (included in the mini-course)—including migration, sightings, feeding grounds, breeding grounds, and spawning grounds.

Get kids thinking with this primer on sky, land, and sea animal migrations.Did you know Arctic terns migrate farther than any other animal? Gray whales can swim up to 12,000 miles during their migration journeys and Emperor penguins walk about 125 miles over ice to reach their nesting grounds.Gail Gibbons explores the many reasons why animals migrate, using direct sentences, maps, infographics, and illustrations. Featuring over 30 different species of mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and fishes, this nonfiction picture book is perfect for aspiring zookeepers and animal-lovers. Fully vetted for accuracy by James Doherty, Curator Emeritus, The New York Zoological Society. This title is part of the Explore the World . . . with Gail Gibbons series, which promotes active learning, good citizenship, and student leadership.

Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviors. From insects and birds to reindeer and giant whales, many animals fly, swim, walk, and even hitchhike in search of better food, milder climate, or suitable mate. Some cross entire oceans; a few even circle the globe. These marathon journeys animals take are filled with great tests of physical strength and endurance--as well as danger and sometimes death. In Animal Migration, learn why animals are compelled to migrate and the various patterns and cycles of their migrations.
