My Project

This project will allow the 4th grade at our school to dive into the habitats of different Apex Predators. Throughout the unit, students will research their chosen Apex Predator's habitat, diet, appearance, and any other amazing facts they want their readers to know! In the end, students will design and create a habitat for their predator using the Cricut and modeling clay to make their habitat come to life.

By allowing students to work with different mediums when creating their habitats, we feel that they will get to show their creativity and put personal touches on their projects.
