Driving question: Why are the Big 5 animals important?
Grade: Grade 4
Project Descriptor: The Big Five are the most iconic animals found in the African wilderness and include the African elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo. These magnificent creatures are known for their strength, beauty, and resilience and are a major draw for tourism in many African countries. However, with their growing popularity, comes a need for increased awareness of how to properly take care of these animals to ensure their well-being and survival.
The aim of this project is to provide information on the Big Five animals and how to take care of them. The project will cover topics such as their habitat, diet, behaviour, and conservation status. It will also highlight the threats facing these animals and the importance of their conservation.
