The Habitat Shuffle
Mrs. Drudy's 2nd Graders' Readers Theater-Style Puppet Show
The Habitat Shuffle
The museum uses exhibits, collections and specimens, and interactive programs to teach visitors of all ages about animal biodiversity, conservation, and ecology. I encourage families to visit this little gem on Miami's campus. For more information, click here.
"The Habitat Shuffle" was created based on the pattern of the Chicago Bear's Superbowl Shuffle in 1985. For this small group activity, students were assigned a partner or small group and an animal. They worked together to research information about the animal and then used that information to write a new stanza following the patterns of the original. They then created action for their puppet perform this poem.
Be sure to check out each student's rendition of "The Habitat Shuffle" below. Thank you, Hefner Museum for adding fun and excitement to our study of habitats! The following Indiana Academic Science standards were addressed with this fun unit:
- Determine patterns and behavior (adaptations) of parents and offspring which help offspring to survive.
- Compare and contrast details of body plans and structures within the life cycles of plants and animals.
- Classify living organisms according to variations in specific physical features (i.e. body coverings, appendages) and describe how those features may provide an advantage for survival in different environments.
