Then try to match the noise by speaking into the microphone. This activity tests your sense of hearing, helps you learn a little about the animals and also lets you hear the sound they make. I chose this activity because it fits my theme by testing your sense of hearing. The animal I choose to help teach my theme is the degu. The interesting things I learned about the degu is that it climbs trees, burrows underground and people keep them as pets.
People feed the degu guinea pig pellets, rodent biscuits, alfalfa, hay, carrots, potato and greens.
In the wild they eat bulbs, tubers, bark, cactus and cornstalks. The reason that I choose the degu is that it helps teach my theme about the five senses. The degu uses its great sense of hearing and smelling to surive. They are just another living creature that was put on this earth. If you enjoyed learning about the degu and my theme the five senses, you can learn more about this subject at the Buffalo Zoo.
