From the Teacher's Desk: Animal Habitats

Owl in a habitatAn excellent introduction to the topic of Habitats is the movie Hoot.  This film is about several children who are trying to save a burrowing owl population from the construction crew of a future Pancake House. Students are able to witness and understand the implications of habitat destruction. 

The website, switchzoo.com, is a popular resource.  Students are able to create and control a variety of habitats by manipulating various elements such as temperature, precipitation, and vegetation. Students are able to listen to the Critter Chorus perform songs by combining animal sounds. Students can create a Mixed-Up Animal and an accompanying story or poem.  Their creations and written work can be uploaded into a gallery. This site also includes several animal videos.
