Zookeepers at the Zoo

My Project

My students are learning about ecosystems. To give them project-based learning that relates to real life. I have created an engaging activity. My students will now be zookeepers and build a zoo. Based on animal ecosystems, students will construct zoo habitats for animals with a set budget and land. Students must plan and design carefully for each animal's space, food requirements, and placement. After researching about the animals' ecosystem, students will recreate that habitat at the zoo. Students have to be careful not to set predators and pray near each other!

Please help my students achieve this goal!
