Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K-12 classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary, four-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students develop an action plan to encourage preservation of an endangered species. Students will work in teams to describe the habitat characteristics of a species outside their home region, explain why the species is endangered, and offer solutions about how humans might be able to support this species' survival. In developing their plan, they will act as explorers of species locally and around the world, learning about climate, plant and animal inhabitants, and key factors affecting habitat vitality or decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo support this goal, students will do the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplain that there are various types of habitats that vary with geographical location around the world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify several habitats in the U.S. and globally\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplain how various habitats meet animals' basic needs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify climatic characteristics of several habitats\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify humans as species that live within and in interaction with various habitats\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify technological advances and tools that scientists use to learn about habitats and endangered species\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign and construct models to demonstrate understanding of features of various habitats (local and global) and endangered species\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply their knowledge of habitat characteristics, interdependence in ecosystems, and endangered species to develop an action plan to help preserve their selected endangered species\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSTEM Road Map Curriculum Series \u003c\/i\u003eis anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning.
