The Task:

Your task will be to select an animal from the list given in the Process section. Once a group has chosen an animal, it is NOT available for other groups to choose, so pick carefully!

You will need to learn more about the kind of environment your animal lives in so your team can design this type of habitat. 

You will work in a four person team and once you have gathered the necessary information, you will then create a design for the ecosystem you wish to build.

You will need to make a diorama out of a cardboard box, and present this design to the zoo management.  You also need to show them an educational sign to display near the habitat. They will tell you whether or not you will get the funding to go ahead and build your design.

Be prepared to answer their probing questions! They are spending thousands of dollars, and they want to be sure your design is good enough to build.

This is a diorama, or 3D model. You could make one out of a box,
cutting away the front, and leaving the floor and 3 sides.

Before you start cutting, think out whether you need to keep some of the fourth side!

This is a zoo exhibit sign.
