Create a New Animal That Could Survive in a Chosen Habitat
by Cynthia Hanks
This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. Students will use Flipgrid to share, but you could use any other video app or website.
Agenda: Lesson will take several days of 50 minute classes. I would allow about 5 days. You may need longer for creating and Flipgrid and sharing.
Day 1: Introduce project and handout instructions, Student can start brainstorming.
Day 2: Creating Animal with adaptations. Label all adaptations.
Day 3: Design habitat with animal in it. Label food sources, predators, where the animal lives.
