 * [|Benda, Kate] || 2nd || [[file:bendalewis_3.doc]] || Here are some pictures of our habitat podcast and extension activities that we presented to our kids. They LOVED the podcast. Since we teach 2nd and 3rd grades, and we are both learning the same things in science, we created a podcast that would work for both grade levels. After watching the podcast, the students got to choose one of the habitats that was mentioned and draw a picture of it. Their picture had to include at least one animal that is found in that habitat. Another extension activity was listing Disney movies under habitats. For ex. Finding Nemo takes place in the ocean habitat. The kids LOVED this and it gave them more knowledge since they are already so familiar with Disney movies.
