At this station volunteers will either facilitate an animal olympic station where students will compete in competitions such as long jump, most wing flaps, or sprints and then compare their adaptations to animals. Or, you may be asked to facilitate a Critter scene Investigation activity where students will view 5 different animal scenes using tracks, and natural items to determine what happened at each station.
