Location: Classroom

Time:  One Hour

Standards: MST 1,4,7 ELA 1,3,4

Description:  The students will become a living thing with a silly name such as “Rolly-Polly Burrow Maker.” They do not know what they are. They are given a list of what they need to stay alive. Using the list as a guide, the students must decide which habitat they live in field, forest, or marsh. Once the students have determined which habitat they live in, they will receive a letter telling them what they are and some basic information about themselves. After everyone receives their letters, they become a jury for a trial. Judge Mopner informs them that the marsh will be dried up to become a future building site.  Consequently, the plants and animals that live in the marsh must move. The jury will decide if the marsh creatures can meet their life’s needs in the field and forest. If they cannot survive elsewhere, the jury will send them to the morgue which is the nutrient recycling center.
