Central Idea: Humans impact animals' habitats.
- There are many different kinds of living things in any area.
- Various components of an animal’s habitat support its survival and sustainability.
- Human actions attract/deter animals to/from a habitat.
Our students utilize our natural backyard habitat to investigate and inquire as we explore how humans impact the habitat and animals living there. We take field trips to Torrey Pines Park and the Safari Park to learn more about habitats. Each student makes their own bird feeder or house to take home to attract more animals to their homes. Each student selects an animal they were interested in to research and become an expert on and the impact humans have on that animal. They then chose how to display and disseminate their information to their classmates through technology making a Movenote Presentation, Digital Poster or Display Poster.
