**Welcome to our classroom assignment on habitats and the animals that live within them! When this project is over, we will all watch our voice recordings as a class and have some popcorn !! Make sure you do your very best work on this assignment because everyone in the class will be watching...** **You will work in groups of 3 and choose a habitat to research. The habitat choices are DESERT, OCEAN , FOREST , ARCTIC TUNDRA , GRASSLANDS , and WETLANDS. You and your group will decide which habitat to research and find __ONE ANIMAL__ from that habitat to focus on.** **__USING COMPLETE SENTENCES, answer the following 10 questions in 3 or 4 paragraphs:__**
 * 1) ** What is your animal? **
 * 2) ** What is the habitat it lives in? **
 * 3) ** What does it eat? **
 * 4) ** How does it obtain it's food? **
 * 5) ** What type of social structure does it live in? Is it a solitary animal? Does it live in a pack? **
 * 6) ** How does it reproduce? Lays eggs? Live birth? **
 * 7) ** What is it's life cycle? (Think about the life cycle of butterflies and frogs for a hint...) **
 * 8) ** What are some adaptations it has made to survive in it's environment? **
 * 9) ** What would happen if it was taken out of it's environment and put into another one? (Really THINK about this question and give a thoughtful answer.) **
 * 10) ** What is something else we should know about your animal? **

**After you have written your paragraphs, you will choose one person from your group to read it out loud into a microphone onto the voicethread. (I will help you will this part.) You need to choose the correct picture of your habitat where your animal lives when the time comes to record your presentation!**
