Nature
Trail Tour Guide
Student Handout
The Challenge: You are a member of a
cooperative group of four. Each one of you will have one of the
following jobs: zoologist, botanist, cartographer, or geologist. Your
group will plan and conduct an interesting and informative guided tour
of three different natural sites that can be found in a nearby Northern
Forest area. Each site chosen should represent a different type of
habitat. Examples of habitats are; in/near water, dry/wet soil,
sunny/shaded area.
At each site of your tour, please be prepared to discuss the following
Focus Questions:
1. What
environmental conditions exist here?
2. What plants
live here?
3. What animals
live here?
4. How have the
plants and animals adapted to survive here?
Please
prepare a script of your tour and share it with your teacher. You will
use this edited script to guide you when you
conduct a mini tour for our class during week five of this project.
Make sure the final edition of
this script has correct spelling and punctuation and that all the Focus
Questions are addressed accurately
and thoroughly. Parents and community members will then be invited to
take our
guided tours. Each group will lead visitors through the trail
conducting their tour.
