Habitat Journal: The Arctic
Habitat (Instructional Master 2B-2) 20 minutes
- Tell students that they will create a Habitat Journal in which they
will draw and write about the habitats in this domain. Today they
will draw an Arctic habitat. [You may wish to review Flip Book
images and additional images related to the Arctic habitat before
having students begin this activity.] - Give each student Instructional Master 2B-2. Discuss what
they have learned about the Arctic habitat. To help students
brainstorm ideas for their drawings, you may wish to ask
questions such as the following:
- What kind of plants will be in your drawing: tall plants or short
plants? - What kind of animals will be in your drawing? What color fur
will some of them have? - Will there be water in your drawing?
