Description

Looking for an assignment to get students practicing with Tinbergen's Four Questions? In need of something focused on real-world scenarios so students are prepared to analyze their own observations later on? Trying to engage students in higher levels of thinking beyond simply memorizing each of the Four Why's?

This resource provides students with three descriptions of organismal behaviors and tasks them with answering Tinbergen's Four Questions in regard to each of those behaviors. Whether assigned as individual or group work, in-class practice or homework, this worksheet will surely serve you well in multiple ways!

The Tinbergen's Four Questions Worksheet is best suited for students who have a basic understanding of key topics of biology, as Tinbergen's different perspectives draw from other areas of the biological sciences. Further, students should have knowledge surrounding the Four Why's (Mechanism, Development, Function, and Evolution) and their purpose in the field of animal behavior in order to adequately respond to the worksheet's prompts.

This assignment may be utilized in multiple ways, making it adaptable to your individual classroom needs. Some potential uses for this resource include (but are not limited to):
- In-class application activity for students to practice using their new knowledge collaboratively
- Homework assignment for students to practice applying their new knowledge individually
- Bellwork or exit ticket to check student understanding
- Review activity to further reinforce content knowledge later down the road

Regardless of how you choose to assign it, the format of this resource allows you to quickly view student responses to each of Tinbergen's Four Questions, making it easy to ascertain which perspectives they understand and which they struggle with. This will help you to optimize data collection before advancing students to a higher level of work or implementing formal assessments.

Furthermore, with this product, you don't need to stress about whether your materials fall in line with the Next Generation Science Standards, as this handout is based on NGSS content. Additionally, you can avoid the monotonous task of researching real-world behaviors from the perspectives of the Four Why's and writing succinct descriptions of them for your students. This worksheet has done it for you, and it includes an answer key to decrease your prep time.

So what are you waiting for? Let this product work for you!
