    Habitat Diorama

    Project
    Habitat Diorama

    Due Date: ______________

    • Each student will create a diorama (a scenic


    representation in which sculpted figures and
    lifelike details are displayed) showing their
    selected habitat. To create the diorama
    project, a shoe box or other small box may be
    used as the space for the diorama. The box
    should not be bigger than an adult sized
    shoebox. Students may use plastic figures or
    mold items from clay to represent animals,
    plants, and objects in their projects. Materials
    such as magazines (for photos), silk or plastic
    plants, popsicle sticks, toothpicks, glue,
    construction paper, and other craft items may
    be used. Creativity is encouraged!

    You will be creating a diorama of a habitat of your


    choice:

    • Rainforest
    • Ocean
    • Desert
    • Forest
    • Polar
    In your diorama, you should include all of the
    following:
    (Please check off all of the items as you complete
    your project)

     You need to cover the inside of your box using


    paper. This should reflect the habitat that you
    chose. For example, an ocean habitat would
    have a blue background to represent water.
     Write your name and the habitat you chose on
    the back of the box
     At least two animals that live in this habitat
     At least two plants that live in this habitat
     Label the items in your habitat
     On the back of the shoebox, using an index
    card, describe your habitat by answering the
    following questions:
    - Why did you choose this habitat?
    - What types of plants and animals live in this
    habitat?
    - What is the environment of this habitat like?
    After completing the project, you will
    present your project to the rest of the
    class. Be prepared to describe your
    habitat and explain your work.

    Please look at the attached examples


    to help you plan your project.
