Students and their family,
This assignment is for students to differentiate between the varieties of habitats on Earth. We will
briefly study each one in Science Lab next week. Once they decide which one they want to research, I have a
booklet with many facts for each. Don’t stress out over a display. A poster, colored paper, or collage of many
pictures about the habitat is fine. I plan on a display to show all the wonders each habitat has!
Habitats are due:
Sept. 5: G. Bryant
Sept. 10: A. Loudermilk
Sept. 6: R. Kidd
Sept. 11: M. Strunk
