Teaching Materials
Positives
- Students will enjoy this colorful interactive activity.
- This resource is simple and easy to use.
Additional Prerequisites
- The instructions are given when students first load the game, but if students refresh the game or start over, the instructions may not play again. Teachers may want to present the activity to the class so that there is no confusion.
Differentiation
- Teachers can extend this activity by having students discuss the climates, animals, and plants they are likely to find in each of the settings. Students could also try to find things in nature that match elements in the activity.
- Cross-curricular connections can be made with language arts classes, where this activity could be used as a storytelling device. Students could pick different backgrounds, characters, and animals to tell their own stories.
- Some related resources include this nature show and tell activity, this nature journal project, and this video on the cycle of matter in ecosystems.
This game is interactive and suitable for students to understand the different ecological systems and potential stressors through sight and sound. This is recommended.
