ESL Content Environments

Content Objective:Environments Module! Learn which factors are important for the survival of living organisms and conduct experiments to determine what these factors are. Set up a virtual aquarium (Aquarium activity) and try to create a good environment for three different fish.
Language Objective:Science is a rich content area for developing language concepts and vocabulary.
