4th Grade Threatened Animals and Their Habitats
Conservation Project
Although extinction is a natural, 1 to 5 species becoming extinct each year, we are now losing dozens of species every day. It is estimated that one million species (including plants) will be lost by 2050. Learning facts about endangered animals is the first step to raising awareness about this issue. During this project we will learn about animals in danger and create a product to bring awarness to help protect them.
