World Habitats Mobile

I created and used this project with my second and third grade students while studying animals, plants, and habitats. We completed this following the unit of study, so they already knew locations, characteristics, weather, animals, and plants of each habitat. The habitats that we studied were grasslands, oceans, deserts, rainforests, and tundras.

It took about an hour and a half to two hours for my students to complete cutting, writing, drawing, and stringing. When I did it, I already cut the titles in half and divided the circles so each had five before the students began. The trickiest part was stringing and tying the yarn. Assembled, they are cute and educational.
