Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

What it means for your child

Your child uses evidence to argue that some animals live in groups that help them survive, such as by hunting together or protecting their young.

Try it at home

1. Watch a nature video about wolves, bees or elephants and talk about how the group helps.
2. Ask, 'Why might a fish swim in a school?'
3. Make a two-column chart of animals that live in groups and animals that live alone.
