You're+the+Zookeeper

Objective: Students will use research skills to increase their knowledge of arctic and antarctic animals.

As one of the zookeepers for the Anyplace Zoo, you have been given some exciting news! You're getting some new animals! It is up to you to select the type of arctic or antarctic animal that will be under your care. You will be responsible for creating the habitat for that animal and for making sure it is comfortable and happy. What kind of environment will your animal like? What kinds of things does it like to eat? These are all things you'll need to know!

Look here for a good list of animals that you may choose: http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Animals/CreatureFeature/

Use the resources below to gather information so you'll be able to give your new friend the most comfortable home possible.

Then, create a brochure that will tell visitors all about your new animal and it's home.
