Project Summary: Students in year 6 were tasked with designing an animal habitat for a lower year pet. Pets included lizards, fish, and even an iguana! Students used the design process in order to best understand the pet/ classrooms’ needs, and then used materials in the Makerspace to design the habitat. They presented these designs to the appropriate classrooms, using their feedback and observations of the animals’ behavior to re-design.
Driving Question: How do we ensure the health and happiness of our pets?
Public Product/Performance: Create a habitat designed to help keep the class pet healthy and happy.
