Design a home that meets an animal's needs.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 61

Let's design a home for an animal! First choose the animal, then list its needs: air, water, food, and shelter.
Plan a part for every need. A toad house could have air holes, a dish of water, bugs to eat, and damp leaves to hide under.
Build it, then check it. Is every need met? If something is missing, make it better!
Your turn! Put the design steps in order.

Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
