STEM From the Start - Ultra-Awesome Animals!

Animals have traits that help them survive in their environments. Some traits have evolved over time and are inherited from their parents. Some traits are influenced by behavior or the environment. For example, the shape of a dog’s ears is an inherited trait, but a dog’s weight depends on how much she eats and moves, which will depend on the environment she is in. Join Sophie Rose and the Quinks as they explore how animals have different traits that help them thrive and survive in a variety of environments in this brand-new STEM mission for curious kids in grades K-3.  EXPLORE
