Have enough picture/word cards of animals/plants in a food chain for each student to have one.  You need a big ball of yarn or string.  Put the students in a circle.  The lowest person on the food chain starts.  They hold the string and throw the ball to the next highest person on the chain (preferably, they are not sitting in order).  That person holds on to the string and tosses the ball to the next person.  \n\nAt the end, you've formed a web of interconnected species.  To simulate environmental changes, have a few students drop their part of the web.  It will fall and dissinigrate showing how a healthy ecosystem is dependant on all of its occupants.\n\nHope that helps.

If you are really interested in monkeys there are great primate centers at some colleges world wide. I know of one that is in Louisiana that has in the past given tours and allowed children to have responsible one on one interaction with all types of primates. Another option would be to look into places like Sea World or Busch Gardens as they often have rotating exhibitions of animals from all over the world that are used to educate and entertain the public. If just interested in general animals then please look into your public zoo. Most have a petting area specifically for children and some even can bring the animals to your school or day camp.

Pros:\nAnimals are healthy as a Vet takes care of them regularly\nThey live a longer life than in wild\nWhen they procreat, the babies live longer than in wild.\nThey educate children and adults about amimals.\nWe are protecting the species from total extinction\n\nCons:\nAnimals are not allowed their natural wild life and habitat\nThey are not as happy being caged up\nVery expensive to maintain a zoo, massive amounts of food,\n       medicine, vet bills, trainers, caretakers etc.\nNot enough quality of interaction with other animals. Lions stay\n        with lions, monkeys with monkeys etc.\nZoos can be dirty and unsanitary if not kept up (smaller zoos)\nMany look at training and caging an animal inhumane.\n\n\nHope this helps. Good Luck

Tell a story...Then ask a question of the reader and write your paper in a responce to the question. This always works... such as "the small wimpering puppy moaned in pain from the many cigarette burns on its small starving body. It just wanted to feel loved when it came over to the woman. It was only wanting to play when it shook and chewed on the cheap red high heeled shoe. This small gift from God never understood why she hurt it so badly, but it was out of its misery now. It no longer had to hurt. It could feel no pain in the place it was now. How could someone do that to such a small, defensless animal?" That's a good introductory paragraph. Hope this helps you out! and Good Luck W/ ur paper!

Great question! I would say we still need zoos. Reason 1: there are animals in danger and we should help them survive. Reason 2: kids need to learn. But zoos should be more open and natural, like the San Diego Wild Animal Park. I hate seeing animals kept behind the bars...

Oh yeh.  took my second graders to the zoo and guess what the chimpanzee showed them. I was really thrilled.  so were their moms when they saw the kid's drawings of "our trip to the zoo"LOL (now)

I work in a zoo so I would know. The good zoos (ones you don't see on Animal Cops) use enrichment to make the animals lives more natural and enjoyable. They may hide a carnivores food, or give the animals something to play with. Also they give them large natural seeming enclosures. Keepers will work with the more intelligent animals such as the seals and elephants. And many of the animals are small and would live in a similarly sized ares in the wide. \nBut then there are the bad zoos where nothing is very good for the animals. The cages are small and empty, the food is bad, etc.\nLuckily most of these kind of zoos are shut down when things get really bad. Those that aren't shut down typically lose customers an go out of business.

Come up with a general thesis, like "Evil exists because of humans" or something like that. Then find your sources. Write a long paragraph based on the information from each source that pertains to that thesis. Then, put the paragraphs from each source in some sort of order, based on how they flow the best. Then, in between each paragraph, fill in with more paragraphs that combine ideas with one another, so that they flow. If you used, say, 6 sources, you should have about 6 pages by now. Then, read through and fill in points and embellish the ideas that are already there. Voila... 12 pages. Make sure you take snack and rest breaks every 2 hours or so. Good luck!

depends on the zoo, some zoos will have volunteer programs and allow people to actually work with the animals, others have volunteer programs for people to work as docents to educate people about the animals but has no hands-on work with them.  You need to find out what type of program your local zoo offers.  Also check out this website for zoo jobs and internships:\n\nhttp://www.aza.org/

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.
