Animal Adventures

Happy Habitats Travel Agency is sponsoring a contest for an all expense paid excursion to one of four habitats around the world. You are an animal that has always lived in a zoo and is interested in visiting your native home land. You task will be to investigate and learn about the habitat where your species originated. You will research information about body coverings, food, water and shelter. You will then create a diorama showing yourself enjoying the habitat you wish to travel to. Your project will be evaluated by the Happy Habitats Travel Agency to determine the contest winner. Good Luck!

This has been designed for first graders.
