How animals grow (School science unit)
Since the 3 rd Trimester in my school has started, we have been learning about how animals grow to figure out why some animal populations have been going down near the Cota Rica rainforest. To be honest, it was been a fun unit so far and I really like learning about animals. We learned that animals grow by eating food, getting sleep, and exercising/playing with other animals.
