Lesson Plan 3

(Extension)

"EXTINCTION IS FOREVER"

Beyond:

How would the world be different if your favorite animal was no longer around (was extinct) or your favorite kind of tree , bird, etc.
Could an oil spill cause a local extinction? (Possibly if an animal was only located in that area such as a rare "endemic" {native} species that does not occur anywhere else).

Extensions:

Students can draw a picture of their animal.
Students can do a small research project on a particular endangered or extinct species.
Or create an informative poster about their animal.
