Instructional Ideas
- Ask learners why they think cheetah cubs learn to walk faster than humans—how does this help them in their habitat?
Classroom Considerations
- Some students may not know their weight in past years, or even currently. Consider asking parents to help with this information
- Weight can be a sensitive topic for 5th graders; consider providing average weights for a growing human instead of using personal weights
- Weight charts are displayed in kg
Pros
- Good background information for your reference
- Kids will enjoy guessing cheetah facts before starting the lesson
Cons
- None
