Students become wolves and components of a habitat in a highly-involving physical activity.
The purpose of this exercise is to increase students' awareness of the conditions which affect the size on individual wolf packs in the wild. Students will be able to identify and describe food, water, and shelter as three essential components of a habitat. Students will be able to describe the importance of a good habitat for animals. Students will recognize that some fluctuations in a given wolf population are natural as ecological systems undergo a constant change. Students will recognize that some fluctuations in a given wolf population are caused by the intervention of man.
