Pros
  • The activity is simple and comes with printable materials, which means anyone can do it
  • The diorama can become the topic or focus of an inquiry-based discussion to kick off a lesson or unit on animal habitats 
Cons
  • Because everything is included, the project does not lend itself to creative thinking the way it would if students had to create animals on their own
