What fun in this unit! Students will employ several hands-on and research skills in learning about the habitats of endangered species, how to best protect them, what their habitats require—and then go on to design an ideal habitat in group teams. They will learn computer skills as they research through the internet, as well as word-processing skills by way of creating documents. The best part, however, is actually constructing models of their own habitat designs!
