==**Performance Assessment Project: Describe Project- What will the student do or create to demonstrate knowledge acquired? Students will create a habitat in the classroom using the appropriate plants and animals native to that habitat. Each first grade class will create a different biome and students will present their biome to the other classes. Students will tour other classes as a culminating activity. **==

Scaffolding- **What are you providing to make students successful? **
==** The teacher will read and discuss various books about the habitats. Students will complete activities in each of the biomes to further their comprehension of the plants and animals that live there. **==

==Materials- **What materials will you need to teach this unit? Literature about each habitat, Materials to create habitats (various colors of butcher paper, materials to make animals, etc), Materials for experiments (warming gloves (blubber), vaseline and sponges, salt, water, etc) **==

Supporting Activities for Unit- **What activities will be done throughout the unit to support the learning?**
==**** Students will research various habitats and discuss plants and animals in each. Students will choose animals and design the habitat in order for that animal to thrive. Students will work in cooperative groups to classify animals with their habitats using "Animal and Habitat Mats." Students will use "Kerpoof" (make a picture activity) to pick a habitat and choose animals that would be able to survive in this habitat. ****==
