Learned Behaviors
Identify behaviors gained by practice or experience.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 25
- A learned behavior comes from practice or experience. The animal isn't born able to do it.
- Animals learn by copying. Bear cubs watch adults catch fish, and young chimpanzees watch adults use sticks as tools.
- They learn from rewards too. A dog that gets a treat for sitting soon sits on command.
- Most of what you do is learned: reading, riding a bike, and tying shoes.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S5L2.a — Ask questions to compare and contrast instincts and learned behaviors.
