Unusual Animal Projects The students in STEP were told to imagine that it is the year 3000 and people can create planets and the animals and plants that live on these planets. We took on the role of scientists and created animals that were adapted to a particular planet’s habitat. We will now present a description of the planet we were assigned and the animal we created to live there in our diorama.
