Flipped Lesson Plan Script
Hi class! Today we are going to be learning about rabbits! Rabbits can be domesticated and kept as pets, or found in the wild. In the wild, bunnies are prey animals, which means they are eaten by larger animals. This is why you will only find grey or brown rabbits in the wild, because they use their fur as camouflage. White rabbits are albino, a genetic disorder where the rabbit has no pigment, or melanin, in its body. Today we will be making a white bunny cake to learn about the parts of a rabbit. Bunnies have soft fur to keep them warm. Some humans choose to use rabbits for their fur and make clothes out of it, but there are other options that don’t hurt rabbits. Rabbits have eyes on the sides of their face because they are prey animals! Eyes on the side, time to hide! Bunnies have long floppy ears to hear and scrunchy noses to smell. They also have strong legs and feet that help them jump! Jackrabbits can hop as fast as 45 miles an hour! Wow! Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. The European rabbit lives in a rabbit hole. Our rabbit is sitting in green grass! Bunnies have fluffy tails that bounce when they run! A rabbits teeth never stop growing! Rabbits are herbivores, which means they only eat plants. Most rabbits prefer grass, but many domesticated rabbits love the carrots their owners buy for them. Work Cited Elora, Grace. Bunnies.
