DOGS 1

how do animals behave, and why?

Observe several animals, including the humans on our campus. Try to identify, describe, and sort the behaviors you see, and try to explain how they work and why they might exist.

Share what you understand about fundamental ideas of animal behavior, including the goals of the discipline and what might be the "purpose" of a range of unique behaviors across the animal kingdom.

Observe and describe a real animal behavior, Identify the category that behavior belongs in, whether you think it is learned, innate, or both, and how that kind of behavior might contribute to survival and reproduction.

Use what we have learned so far to create a real-world resource that promotes safe, respectful, and informed interactions between humans and dogs.
