A description of our project is below

"In the end, we conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught." - Baba Dioum, Senegalese poet. We want our students to find the beauty in nature and wildlife, and find a way in which to share that with our community.

Students will work in collaborative teams to design and create proposals for new exhibits at our local. This will include a oral presentation and written informational text following the Common Core standards. In addition, they will create maps and three dimensional models using the materials that will require students to use measurement and scale following the Common Core math standards. Proposals will include the geography and climate of the region where the animal lives, human influences and threats to the animal species.
