Fun Lesson Activity about The Woodchuck
Everyone has heard the tongue twister. “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” But does the woodchuck really have anything to do with wood? In fact this is just a nickname for the better known animal, the groundhog. Groundhogs are known for creating their house by burrowing tunnels underground. This allows them to live in many different habitats across Northern America. Ask students to think of all the different places a groundhog may be able to make some of these burrows. The groundhog is a great example for students to explore the idea of hibernation. Encourage students to expand on what may happen to an animal throughout the winter if they are in hibernation. In order to survive a true hibernator like the groundhog must not only fall asleep. They have to slow down their breathing, lower their heartrate, and drop their body temperature.
