Make Your Acacia Trees
Build Your Savanna

CUSTOM MATERIALS
Acacia Tree Trunks (2 per student)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Many of the animals kids recognize at the zoo are found in the savannahs of Africa. Giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants, and other famous creatures are all native to Africa. In this unit, students plant an edible savannah as they learn about many of these famous creatures who now sadly find themselves on the endangered species list.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
