SUMMARY OF CONTENT

Children's fascination with the study of life often turns to the movement of animals. Movement is basic to an animal's relationship with its environment-the habitat in which it lives, the kinds of food it eats, and its method of escaping from danger.

Observing animal movement provides many opportunities to describe and compare the adaptations of body parts for locomotion. Movement is also a characteristic useful in classifying animals.

The best means of observing animal movement is the motion picture. The dramatic use of high-speed, slow-motion, and closeup photography provides great visual impact, as well as allowing the student to make otherwise unobtainable observations. This film is keyed to heightening children's awareness of the many ways in which animals move.

The first two animals seen are a dog and a man.

Both are running and both have four limbs, but man, unlike the dog, usually uses only two for such move ment. Next come two animals without legs. The undulating muscles of a snail's foot propel it slowly but steadily forward. A snake uses its whole body to curve and twist along the ground.

Waves of legs are seen gliding the millipede in a ceaseless flow of motion. Similarly, the multilegged caterpillar sweeps along in search of food. Fish darting through the blue-green depths of their watery world demonstrate the many adaptations of shape, size, and motion characteristic of aquatic animals.

The film continues with a variety of crawling, hop-ping, and flying insects, leaping frogs, and soaring birds.

Each animal shows a special adaptation for moving in its environment.
