Hibernation/ Migration/ Adaptation Mobile

 Worksheet

The weather gets colder, days get shorter and leaves turn color and fall off the trees. Soon, winter is here. Snow covers the ground. People live in warm houses and wear heavy coats outside. Our food comes from the grocery store. But what happens to the animals?

GET READY TO . . . Hibernate! Migrate! . . . or get fat and Adapt!

MIGRATE

Animals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them "migrate." This means they travel to other places where the weather is warmer or they can find food.

HIBERNATE

Some animals "hibernate" for part or all of the winter.

ADAPT

Some animals remain and stay active in the winter.
