Wild animals require four basic habitat components: food, water, cover, and space.
Animals can be divided into five distinct groups: mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

In this short unit of study, four-year-old kindergarten students learn to differentiate and identify common domesticated animals and local wild animals by sight and sound. This unit is a series of 3 video lessons and 2 field-based lessons. 

Objective
The students will be able to:
Become a productive team member by following the directions to the activity.
Conceptualize how people’s impact on a forest (or cave) changes that environment.

Teach students about life cycles by learning about worms and the ways they benefit the garden and farms.
Through reading literature and completing hands-on activities, the class will conduct a worm investigation and
observe that the organisms (and other animals) need food, air and space to grow.
