17 Feb Squirrels!

Posted at 09:58h in education by

In my family we have a bit of a love/hate relationship with squirrels. We hate that they take so much food from our bird feeders. But we do like to watch them and my daughters do enjoy reading Those Darn Squirrels! That’s why I was intrigued when SciShow Kids released a new video all about squirrels. 

Stupendous Squirrel Storage is a SciShow Kids video all about how squirrels find food, store food, and the role of that process in the ecosystem. Take a few minutes to watch it and you might find yourself with a new appreciation for those pesky squirrels. 

Applications for Education
Before watching the video I’d ask students to think about how animals like squirrels find and store food. After watching the video I’d ask them if they can think of other animals that find and store food in a manner similar to that of squirrels. 
Watching the video also reminded me of a global nature observation project called Project Squirrel that is still open to contributions from classrooms.
