Welcome to the Zoo






We have finished our plant unit in science and have moved on to animals.  We start out our animal unit by talking about the ways scientists classify animals.  As an introduction to this, the students created zoo models. The objective was for the students to show different ways animals can be classified. Students put animals together based on where they live, how they move, and physical traits. The kids also added attractions to their zoos that would make them more interesting. These included roller coasters, dirt bike rentals, and even a Super Bowl stadium!  The fun part of this assignment was showing off the zoos by walking action figures down the paths and giving the class a grand tour.
