Build a habitat diorama including several different living things placed accurately, plus a nonliving feature, and explain one survival adaptation shown.
This unit, you explored ponds, forests, deserts, and oceans, and learned that biodiversity means many different kinds of life sharing one place. Today you build a diorama, a small model, of one habitat, showing off everything you have learned.
A great diorama includes more than just one animal. It shows several different kinds of living things that would really be found together, plus nonliving features like water, sand, or rocks, since those matter to a real habitat too.
Mastery looks like: They build a habitat diorama including several different, accurately placed living things and at least one nonliving feature, and explain one survival adaptation.
Common stumbles: Including living things that would not actually be found together in that real habitat; leaving out nonliving features like water, sand, or rocks that are also part of a real habitat.
