Learning Goals
Students will be able to explain animal life cycles, basic needs, and habitats as connected systems that support survival, growth, and reproduction.
Students will be able to compare how habitat loss, environmental changes, and human actions affect animals and identify ways communities can protect wildlife.
Students will be able to gather and synthesize evidence from habitat stations, footprint clues, food samples, and expert stories to support a claim about an animal's needs.

Animal Rescue Research Card and Mini Habitat Sketch
Each student creates a research card for one animal using station evidence and expert notes, then draws a labeled mini habitat sketch showing what that animal needs to survive. The work serves as the individual proof of content mastery that feeds into the team rescue center design.
Wildlife Rescue Center Model with Evidence Talk
Teams build a shared rescue center model with a clear problem statement, labeled habitat features, and a short presentation explaining how their design responds to animal needs and community concerns. The model and talk combine individual findings into a collaborative solution suitable for testing and sharing with stakeholders.
