Knowledge (Remembering)

For remembering, each student will create their own set of 10 true or false questions about the habitats we went over in class. Use the website jotform.com and sign in with your school account for free.

Comprehension (Understanding)

For Understanding, we will create a poster on Canva. Chose your favorite habitat that we have discussed in class. Create a collage on the poster of any plants, animals, or other natural resources that exist in that habitat for the animals that live there. (Think food and water sources for resources.)

Application (Apply)

To apply our knowledge of habitats, create a map of a fantasy land containing at least three habitats discussed in class. Use Google Drawing to create your fantasy map. Make sure your map is colored!

Your map must include these for each habitat:

A label of which habitat it is
A water source
An animal that lives there
Depiction of a plant that can be found there

Analysis (Analyze)

Each student will research the habitats we have discussed in class (also listed here). They then will create their own map on Google Maps. Title the map "Lastname Habitat Map." Find one example of each habitat on Earth and create a pin on your map. Label the pinned location as the type of the habitat it represents.

Habitats to find:

Forest
Ocean
Desert
Rainforest
Grassland
Arctic/Tundra

Synthesis (Create)

Students will create a habitat diorama out of a shoe box and provided materials. Students will need to bring in a shoe box from home. Then each student will choose a random habitat from a hat and create a scene of that habitat within their shoebox. The teacher will provide paper in any color available and will be willing to print black and white images of animals to be cut out and colored by students before added to their diorama.

Evaluation (Evaluate)

Students will participate in a habitat feature show. Each student will chose an animal puppet with their eyes closed. They will then create a short "presentation" about the habitat the animals lives in to give as their puppet. Presentations should include a habitat description (water source, food source, plants, other animals) and a description of the animal and why the habitat they live in works for them.
