MIGRATION

Migration
This topic of natural science is proving to be very diverse this unit!!  We have started a mould investigation, today we will start to observe and recreate different ecosystems and now we need to begin the topic of migration?
 Please do the following questions as an eHW and place the answers in your natural science notebook.

Our class list of animals we have decided to research are as follows, 
Bank Swallow, Guanaco, Humbolt Penguin, Eastern Kingbird, Osprey, White Solitary Sandpiper, Rumped Solitary Sandpiper, Summer Tanager, Pink Footed Shearwater and Southern Right Whales.

1. What is migration?
2. Why do animals migrate?  Do they migrate alone or in groups and why?
3. How do animals know that they should migrate?
4. After researching your animal which path of migration do they follow?  What time of year do the travel?
5. Are there any dangers in migration?
6. What other interesting facts did you learn about your animals migrating habits?

Have fun learning!!
