You have just experienced an exciting trip to the Aquarium. Now you will have a chance to design a habitat for an Aquarium animal. Choose an animal that you saw during your trip. You may use any sources available to create a poster of the habitat. Make sure you have the four major requirements for the habitat: food, water, shelter, and space.
After you create your habitat poster you will present your habitat design to the class and describe the animal that you have chosen. Some of the questions below may help you with this project.
What animal did you choose?
What type of animal is it?
How big does it get?
How long does it live?

What does it eat?
Does it have any predators?
How does it protect itself?
What kind of shelter does your animal need?
Does it live in groups or alone?
How much space does it need?
Is it active during the day or at night?
What other plants and animals can be found in this habitat?
