Wetland Mystery

  • Grade level: 2 -9

Students learn about wetland animals and some of their characteristics with a tactile mystery game. After hearing about a “wetland mystery”, students investigate clues to identify which animals were involved and what their role was (e.g. predator, prey, witness).

Learning objectives:

  • Investigate and identify animals from their physical characteristics and behaviours.
  • Describe interactions between animals sharing the same ecosystem.
  • Identify examples of how animals depend on each other and their environment for survival.
  • Recognize that wetlands are important habitats for many local animals.
