Wonderful World of Animals

Did you know that animals and plants live in communities like us? Communities of animals and plants that share the same place and climate are called biomes. Students will learn about the diversity of animals in the world by learning about a different biome each day – rainforests, deserts, grasslands, forests. Students will study animals unique to each biome that excite their imagination - jaguars, camels, zebras, bears. Utilizing recycled household items alongside natural materials, students will construct representations of animals and the structures of their habitats with each biome. Students will learn how each animal's habitat is adapted to the biome it exists in.
