Habitats! Students in our 4th grade STEM classes were introduced to Habitats and what is needed: food, water, air, shelter and space with a lesson from Mrs. Smith to study 21 habitats and animals to see if the mini habitats were appropriate or not. They will take their knowledge to the zoo Thursday to begin to apply it to real animals before beginning their next showcase project.
