Students are currently in module 9 - Animal Habitats. The essential question for this module is: How do living things in a habitat depend on each other? In this STEM lesson, students will answer the driving question:  How can we prove to admin that we can adequately care for a pet in class? It will be broken into three parts: researching basic needs, deciding on necessary items and calculating cost, and creating a model habitat for the classroom. There will be science, math, ELA and engineering embedded in this lesson.

Day 1: Collecting Research

Students work in collaborative, small groups to collect information on their selected pet.

Day 2: Necessary Items List and Total Cost

Students brainstorm list independently, then revisit small groups to finalize list. Look up prices of items and calculate total (addition with regrouping). Re-join whole group to share math strategies and determine effectiveness / accuracy of each group

*****Students will not be given a money limit when planning what is needed and making a shopping list for their habitat/pet. Instead, we will use the various total costs arrived at by students and shared during presentations to support whether some pets may not make good options or why others are more attainable for us.

Day 3-5: Creating the Model and Presentations
Identify the problem- How can we care for a class pet?
Explore- How could we meet this animal's basic needs in the classroom?
Design- Plan a habitat that would successfully sustain the selected class pet at school
Create- Use available items to create a model habitat that meets all basic needs of the pet
Make it Better- Utilize feedback to improve the model habitat

***NEED ITEMS TO CRAFT MODEL
***INVITE ADMIN FOR PRESENTATIONS
