Group+A

Group A: Mia, Madison, Luke, Christopher

We will be learning about endangered animals. Please work together with your group to contribute to answering these questions. You can use what we have learned in class, what you have read in books, and research from the internet. Each group will be able to share their final glogster poster at the end of our study.

1. What does it mean to “go extinct” or to be an “endangered”, “threatened” or “rare” species?

Mia: Extinct means that an animal species is not living any more. Endangered means that a species is in danger of being extinct. Madison: Threatened means that an animal might become extinct in the future. Rare means that it is not common.

2. How do animal species become extinct, endangered, threatened or rare?

Christopher: People cause animals to become endangered by building, cutting down forests, polluting, spraying pesticide and by keeping some wild animals as pets.

3. Why is it a problem that animal species become extinct, endangered, threatened or rare?

4. What can you do to help prevent animal species from becoming rare, threatened, endangered or extinct?

5. Please create a glogster poster using your account at [|www.glogster.com] to showcase what you have learned about endangered animals from our unit of study. Please also include in your poster what you can do to help protect these animals. Please insert your glog posters on this page.
