In Science class, we have been learning about different animals. We have been studying lots of different animals and the students were then able to pick one animal they would like to research more about. Eileigh picked Red Foxes and Hannah picked Elephants. It was exciting to see them so energized and wanting to research about their animal. They did research on the internet and in Encyclopedias. They did a great job gathering up information. After that, they created their plan for how they would design their dioramas. Then they used their research and plan to create a habitat. They were very thorough and added the correct environment, climate and food available so their animal can survive. Then, they created their animal while paying close attention to the little details of their animal. Of course, once it was all created and done, they presented their dioramas to the other class and then to their families. It was really great to see how enthusiastic the girls were with their research projects. They did a great job! This project included Science skills, Geography skills, Reading skills, Writing skills, Research skills, Art skills, and Oral Language/Presentation skills. Wow! It was a well rounded academic experience.
I couldn't help but think of how awesome our God is. How He created all the animals so perfectly on earth. It amazes me to think of how beautiful animals are and yet each species of animals is so unique and special.
Genesis 1:24-25
And God said, " Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind". And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
