Introduction
Hello everybody, as you recall from chapter 1. Animals. Animals are celled organisms that feed on other organisms. They are composed of many cells.
from tiny worms to giant whales, animals are very diverse, they not oly vary on size , but also in body structure, outward apperance, and the environment in which they live.
Despite their diversity, however, all animals carry out the same basic functions:
1. Obtain their food
2. keep internal body conditions stable.
3. Move
4. Reproduce
In order for them to survive and perform this conditions they need specific places to live, where all the environmental conditions match their needs.

Task
Do all animals require the same things to survive? in this project you will reaserch what it takes to keep a class pet healthy (given by your teacher), and then build a habitat to carry out that objective.
Your goal is to research, design, and build a habitat that will keep an animal healthy for two weeks.
Process
To complete your project you must:
1. Research the needs of your animal (what type of food it needs, climate, etc)
2. Brainstorm various designs for a habitat that meets your animal´s needs and allows you to observe its behavior.
3. Select materials and build a prototype of your design
4. Test your designs by having your animal live in that habitat for two weeks.
5. Follow safety rules at all types
Evaluation
You will be assessed on the following:
1. How well you planned for your animal care.
2. How well you record and observe your animal´s behavior
3. The thoroughness and organization of your presentation
4. How well your participated in your groups
Conclusion
Animals are incredible organisms, they live all around you, and sometimes you don´t even notice. We all share planet Earth for food, shelter, and all our needs.
Its important for us to take care of our environment, because is where all the diverse environments for diferent animals are located.
Hope you enjoyed your project!
