“The giggles from the kids during the activity, and at the end of the day the kids were leaving the school pretending to be like a quail! OH OH and at the end of the lesson, they were so enthusiastic about answering the question, "What do animals need to live?" "FOOD!"”

“Please keep adding lessons! I love your program. It is wonderful for children with special needs because you incorporate different learning styles. I like that fact the books are read aloud for students who cannot yet read. The videos are fabulous. Thanks for adding standards and an assessment section. ”

“This was our first Mystery Science lesson. I LOVE how the it incorporated getting up to act out the characteristics of the animal and addressed the phonics skills to sound out the word (qu- ail). I also enjoyed the video repeating the quail's action while we stopped to discuss what the bird was doing. Still frames are difficult for students with disabilities to infer the actions. We love Mystery Doug, but this was way more interactive! Thank you!”

“My students loved the kinesthetic opportunity to pretend to be the animals! I loved that you put the words on the screen for them to read and say with you. My kids really need to practice reading and integrating it into Science is awesome!”

“I teach a multi-disabled, multi grade classroom and this lesson was great! We broke it up into 4 days and I made a cut and paste activity to go with it as their assessment. The students loved following Miss Pat as they pretended to be birds. I recommend this to any teacher trying to engage their students in science! ”

“I loved the flow of the lesson. Students had opportunities to observe, talk with partners, and move. I also appreciate the notes provided for the teacher on how long the lesson would take and extensions. ”

“My kindergarten class watched 1/2 of the forest floor show before lunch. I was planning on watching the second half the next day. When we got back from lunch they asked if they could finish it. I’m sure that’s one we’ll watch again ”

“it was awesome that the kiddos got to get up and move, they loved acting like animals!! and by the time they were comparing all three animals at the end, most of they kids thought all of the animals were eating, because they were all using their mouths. ”

“Engaging- encouraged good discussion from students. They made great connections. Of course I loved that there was NO prep on my part. Thank you for pointing that out on the description. It was great that I knew I'd be good to go and didn't have to spend time previewing the lesson. ”

“I just did the lesson with a special needs class - some students are functioning at a pre-school level, some are non-verbal, autistic, global developmental delay and so on. This lesson REALLY engaged them. Everyone was able to participate, even those students who needed assistance. They loved being able to get up and copy the animal movements. They were almost all totally engaged watching the videos. And they LOVED watching the videos of animals eating.”

“the video was awesome. I did this as a buddy activity with my fourth graders and their kindergarten buddy class. It worked well to have the older students model the expected behavior and thinking like a scientist. ”

“The kids loved acting out the different animals. They thought it was fun and very funny! They also really seemed to grasp the concept of the animals searching for food and are very excited for the next mystery.”

“My Special education class had a great time with this lesson and picked up on all the concepts. The movements were a great motivator for them and they did some great drawings of animals eating lunch.”

“This was our best lesson yet! I set clear procedures that we were scientists making observations, therefore, horseplay would not be a part of what we were doing and the students complied 100%! I was so impressed. They really learned a lot about using their senses and making observations. They also really enjoyed the extra activities watching animals eat and writing about how a certain animal would eat lunch!”

“The activity component, science and movement together. The children really started to think about animals differently, even though we had already talked about their need for food. We're looking forward to the next one.”

“The kids love to be able to move their bodies! It was a nice intermittent flow of movement. They could listen and also know that they would get their chance to act and wiggle. They also really understood the content!”

“I loved this lesson! It is a perfect mix of activities. The students loved learning about the different animals and had a blast with the movement pieces! The pacing was great, lessons easy to follow. Pat is priceless!”

“I did not teach it...reviewed it and LOVE the interactive component of pretending to be a quail, racoon, and woodpecker. Students will love it too. Like the penmanship type font for the vocab words too. Thanks! Marge”

“This was super fun and engaging for my students! They loved behaving like the animals and they totally got the idea of the lesson that an animal's behavior often tells you something about how they find their food. Really a huge success!”

“Having students make their own observations about the patterns in natural phenomena. Using videos to help them be a part of the "walk". Having actions to have them really think about the animal behaviors. Great connections! Thank you. I will continue with the other videos asking them what other animals eat. I added in the discussion of what types of animals (birds, mammal), how they move, and skin coverings too. ”
