Endangered Animal Project
Project
Name:
For this individual and handwritten project, please use lined or white paper, and staple
everything together when you turn it in.
Endangered Animals: Choose one of these animals to research. You will probably
need to do additional research to find everything, but start here. Click on an animal of
interest and read the information. You are looking for the following information:
WHAT the species is
WHERE does it live (country, habitat)
WHY is it endangered
HOW is it being protected
ANSWER at least one of the Questions for Thought at the bottom of the animals
page
MAKE two food webs: one with and without your endangered animal. For the food
web without your endangered animal, put arrows up or down about how you would
expect the other animal and plant populations to change. Food webs should at least
involve: your animals predator & your animals prey all the way back to the source of
energy, the sun.
Extinct Animals: Choose one of these animals to research, using this website as a
start. Click on an animal of interest and read the information. You are looking for the
following information:
WHAT the species was
WHERE did it live (country, habitat)
HOW did it become extinct
HOW could it have been protected
WHEN did it become extinct
For extra credit: Conservation Laws: Find one law that would apply to your
endangered animal, and one law that would apply to your extinct animal. Succinctly
describe each law.
