GOAL: Your goal is to explain what type of home each animal will need and decide which home would be the EASIEST to put together and clean. This is very important so that we can prepare a happy home for our new pet! MISSION PROCEDURES: 1. RESEARCH - Use the Internet links below as well as classroom books to identify what type of home each pet will need. Try to answer as many of the questions below for each animal as possible: What type of home does this animal need? (aquarium? wire cage?) How big or small should its home be? What things should go inside the animal home? (water? bed? pine chips?) 2. WRITE - On the Record Sheet record your findings for each animal in the correct box. (If you have not printed a Record Sheet, go to the Internet link below.) 3. THINK - Think about which of these animal homes would be the best for the classroom. Here are some questions to think about: Which home will be easiest to keep in the classroom? Which home will be the easiest to put together? Which home will be the easiest to clean? 4. WRITE - Based on your research and thoughts, complete the sentence at the bottom of the Record Sheet stating which animal you feel would be the best class pet. REMEMBER: You are going to use the information you find to persuade your group members and class that this pet home is the easiest to care for so work carefully. <center> <img src="http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/housing/halftnk.gif"> </center>
