This lesson did a good job of laying out the 5E's right away. Under each phase is described what the students would be learning and doing that day. The activities provided in the lesson were both whole group and individual work. The lessons were all engaging for the students and many were hands-on. Other content areas were also incorporated into the lesson, such as writing. I really enjoyed the last phase, where students were paired up to create their own animal with some specific requirements. The students are able to use what they have learned and create an animal with adaptations to the given environment that it is in. This is a fun, engaging way to test the students knowledge and to have fun creating an imaginary animal.
