Students will explore their human needs and wants by building a fort in the schoolyard and investigating the features of them. Then students will explore the schoolyard to find evidence of animal life and determine where the animals live and what they need to survive.
What do humans need to survive? How is it different from what humans want to survive?
What do animals need to survive and how can we provide or protect their habitat?
