Night Hunt
Search with a partner
and a flashlight. Draw
all of the nocturnal
animals you find on
your search.
If I were
nocturnal…
What is one special
adaptation you would need
to be nocturnal?
Design some sort of
technology for humans to
adapt to nighttime activity.
Think and Talk
What adaptations do animals have that
allow them to function at night?
What power did you need to give
humans so they could function at
night?
How did your technology allow humans
to have this adaptation?
I Can…
I can infer common traits of
nocturnal animals.
I can design technology for
humans to adapt to
nighttime activity.
Evaluate
What would your technology
design have to have to be an A+
design?
Do you think yours is an A+
design?
What can you do to improve your
design?
