Nocturnal & Diurnal Animals Sort

Help children understand nocturnal and diurnal animals with this simple, hands-on animal sorting activity! Students examine real animal photographs and determine whether each animal is primarily active during the day or night before sorting it beneath the correct heading.

The resource includes 36 animals to sort and encourages children to explain their reasoning and consider how animals' senses, behaviors, habitats, and adaptations help them function during the time of day when they are most active.

Perfect for nocturnal animals units, day and night science activities, preschool and kindergarten science centers, homeschool science, animal classification, Montessori-inspired shelf work, and fall science activities.

This resource is a part of the Nocturnal Animals Research Bundle.
