Begin the lesson by discussing the importance of group living in animals and how it aids in survival, particularly in finding and sharing food.

Introduce the concept with a video that showcases why animals form groups, highlighting key survival strategies.

Explain the methods used by different animal groups, such as ants, bees, lions, and wolves, to find and share food.

Discuss the waggle dance of honeybees and how it communicates the location of food.

Watch a video on animal swarming behaviors to understand the benefits of group living.

Engage students in a discussion about how social structures in animal groups contribute to survival strategies.

Conduct a role-playing activity where students simulate the waggle dance to communicate the location of food.

Organize a group activity where students mimic a lion pride or wolf pack to understand the dynamics of collective hunting.

Have students research and write a short report on a specific animal group and their food-sharing strategies.

Use formative assessment techniques such as quizzes or group discussions to evaluate students' understanding of the lesson objectives.

Facilitate a class discussion to reflect on the benefits of living in groups and how it enhances survival.

Assign the 'Evidence and Explanations – Animal Groups' assessment to evaluate students' comprehension of group behaviors and survival benefits.

Encourage students to explore further by researching other animal group behaviors and presenting their findings to the class.
