Introduction Living and non living things make up our world. Key living things on our
planet are animals. There are so many different animals all over the
world. Each and every one are very important to their surrounding
environment as they contribute to the way of life. Unfortunately, many
animals are coming under threat and need human help to survive such
as some animals in the Zoo. Your help is needed designing a new
enclosure that is going to help your chosen animal survive and thrive.
Time There will be 7 lessons allocated for this project. Each lesson will be
about 60 minutes.
Brief Your job is to research about your animal that you want to make a
better home for at the Zoo. Then design and create the ideal enclosure
for it to live and thrive in using a shoebox sized model.
Generating You have to research your chosen animal and design an environment
that would best house your animal so it may live to its fullest potential
ideas and peak health in a Zoo enclosure. All elements of living things and
specifically in relation to your chosen animal must be included and
labelled.
Project To do this you will need to bring in materials to construct your very own
Zoo enclosure that your animal can survive and thrive in.
specifications The only materials you can use to build this home are the recycled
materials you bring in from home or that can be found in the recycling
boxes at school. The size of your animals Zoo enclosure should be
roughly the size of a shoebox.
Each enclosure will need a water source, a food source and a
sheltered area/heat area - at least, as well as accommodating if the
animal is a solitary animal or not.
Evaluation Consider these aspects when generating your research notes, design
and model:
- What are key elements needed for a living thing? Have I
included at least food, water, shelter and movement spaces?
- How are these features going to make a thriving environment
for my animal to live in?
- Have I considered my waste? Am I only using recyclable
materials and natural resources?
Presentation Each student will present to the class in their pair, the features of the
ideal enclosure for the animal they have chosen either in a face to face
verbal presentation or through a media formatting of your choice i.e.
PowerPoint (and speech) and iMovie. You must explain why each
element has been included in their model and describe the benefit of
including it in your animals Zoo enclosure.
