Goals: Observing Animals
Students observe the
characteristics and
behavior of up to three
live animals in a very
intimate setting.

Goals: Habitats
We reinforce that food
and shelter are essential
parts of an animal’s
habitat and chart what is
most suitable for each
visiting live animal.

Goals: Inference
The student observations
are used to infer each
animal’s shelter and food
requirements.

Goals: Predictions
The students use this
information to predict the
animal’s optimal habitat
from a variety of choices.
