An inquiry project that encourages students to research animals and their habitats and design a reptile house in a theme park.

Welcome to Five Wonders Theme Park, the best theme park in the entire world!

This teaching resource is a part of our Five Wonders Theme Park Stimulus Project. This project aims for students to inquire and research into different types of reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and insects from various places around the world. From this, students need to find out what the animals’ habitats are so they can create enclosures and design a reptile house for the Five Wonders Theme Park.

Students will use scientific and measurement skills to:

research different animals and their habitats
research different resource types
create a blueprint based on their knowledge of length, perimeter and area
write promotional material to advertise their reptile house.

Check out our other Five Wonders Theme Park Resource Collection.
