The teacher will discuss their answers. Have students introduce their favorite duck and tell why. Then lead a discussion about what habitat the ducks were found in. Specifically recall the wetland exhibit in the museum. Talk about all of the components it included.
Student activity Have the students create their own model wetland in the classroom.
In small groups have the students brainstorm about what they need to include in their wetland model and what they could use to represent it. Tell them they can bring in what materials they want for the next day. Closure Discuss the importance of wetlands to ducks, other animals, and humans. Give examples of areas in the community where wetlands have been destroyed. Have the students make a list of actions and attitudes that could help preserve wetlands.
