Animal Scat ID/Animal Poop/Montessori Cards/Math+Writing/Slides/Scatology

Welcome to the big POOP-O-RAMA!

Step inside and enjoy the show! You might see poop you haven't seen before and you might not be able to unsee. You surely will be entertained, however, that is not all. Scatology is a field of study in biology and medicine. We can learn so much by looking at animal poop!

The perfect end-of-the year activity, but really of great value at any time!

• With the resource I created you can learn about 16 animals from around the world and their poops!

• Compare the different names for the animals' droppings; the poop amount, consistency, shape, color, frequency. Can you determine the BIGGEST POOPER?

• Have fun looking at the slides, learn why scatology is an important field of study and play the quiz! Learn how people around the world use animal poop.

• Go outside, see what you can find and note down your observations in the animal poop journal.

I hope you enjoy the POOP-O-RAMA!
