Harry Potter's Animal Science Lesson Plans

Science lesson plans with Hagrid and his magical animal friend Buckbeak was always an exciting class for Harry, Ron and Hermione. They went deep into the forest for each science lesson with other classmates from Gryffindor as well as those from Slytherin House who were not as taken with the lessons.

When organizing animal and bird science lesson plans for your class, you can incorporate a little bit of Hogwarts' lessons ideas. Some animals have characteristics and habits that are different from the norm. Perhaps these animals or birds have a bit of creative magic in them similar to that of Fawkes the Phoenix or Hedwig the Owl. Some species have wonderful and unusual colors in the feathers or furs. Why is this? Why does the coloring of males differ from their female counterparts? Why do some animals life deep in the forest, or jungles while the habitat of others is near the oceans or the deserts? Why are some nocturnal, while others are not?

Science lesson plans can also incorporate art lessons. Drawing mystical creatures or real life ones can be fun. Reading lesson plans can also incorporate literature from the Harry Potter series, creating an entire Harry Potter module for your class this year.
