PurposeThe purpose of this field trip is to better understand animal behavior, habitat, diet, status, and physical characteristics. We will split up into groups of five and spend our time at the zoo observing a specific animal. I will take notes of what the animals are doing, what they are eating, what they look like, and any other information I find out about them.

I will use the information I find to help me write a research report about my animal.
