Exploring Animal Communities - Projects & PBL

Driving Question:

What is a community? How do inhabitants adapt and interact within a community?

Description:

In this inquiry based Project, students work together to define the word "community" and investigate one animal community and its inhabitants.

Reading and writing informational text becomes purposeful as students share their findings with the class by creating an informational poster to present to the rest of the class about their animal community.
