Habitat+Hunt

Habitat Hunt


 * Project Overview:** To create an imaginary animal and describe where it lives, the food it eats, the shelter it needs, and how it gets water. Prior to the videoconference each class will create a picture of an imaginary animal and draw a habitat for the animal on butcher paper. The class will share the picture of their imaginary animal with a partner class (wiki), which that class will make a habitat for. During the videoconference the classes will share and compare the habitats they created and discuss how the habitat will help the animals survive.
