Quirky STEAM - ZOO REVOLUTION

A ZOO REVOLUTION...

Animal Challenge: Can you create a unique cage-free habitat exhibit for animals that is ethical and sustainable?

Check out a real life version:

Denmark's cage-free zoo will put humans in captivityBjarke Ingels’s ‘zootopia’ reverses the role of captor and captive to let animals roam free, while humans are hidden from view. But will it become a feral version of the Hunger Games?

What is an Animal Habitat?

The habitat is the physical area where a species lives. Many factors are used to describe a habitat. ... A habitat should not be confused with an ecosystem: the habitat is the actual place of the ecosystem, whereas the ecosystem includes both the biotic and abiotic factors in the habitat.

Step 1: Research about animals and their habitat

Learn from playing Never Alone App

Read the book "Sometimes I feel like a fox"

Learn from observing animal skeletons and create them with plasticine.

Learn and observe from the VR Animal 3D app.

Once you are complete your design process - Don't forget to REFLECT.
