Last year, my students amazed me with a wide variety of original “museum exhibits” on different species of animals. I assigned them a species, provided a few days of research in the library and some class time to work on building the exhibits. This project is a unique twist on the typical diorama-type activity. Students then evaluated each others’ projects and made oral presentations to the class.
