Community Partner(s)
At the time of implementation, I was not able to partner with a community organization. In the future, I would like to partner with Honolulu Zoo and have students take a field trip there to observe animals and how they use their structures to help them survive.
Essential Question
Why do animals look different?
How do animals use their body parts to help them survive?
- How do animals use their body parts to protect themselves?
- How do animals use their body parts to eat?
Enduring Understanding
Animals use their body parts to help them survive in their habitat/environment.

Author Reflections
I would have liked to do is to bring in more aspects of place-based education. Instead of only introducing native animals to the students, I would want to bring in other social issues of native species conservation.
