Overview
In this lesson, students will investigate different animals and the specific environmental conditions they need to survive. They begin by observing their class turtle and discussing what types of environments a turtle can survive in. Then, they choose a card that is placed face-down on the table. Each card contains a fact about a certain animal, and each student will move into groups with people that have the same animal as them. Using the facts on the cards, along with any other information collected from the internet, each group will create, and edit a movie that informs others about thier animal's specific environmental needs.
