IntroductionDiscovering Plants and Animals of the World, Volume 1 is appropriate for elementary and middle school students and is best suited to grades 3-6. Over the course of the unit, your student will learn the names of some of the many animals and plants that live in all 54 independent countries of Africa and all 48 independent countries of Asia.

The core lessons include text to read about the animals and plants of a region and comprehension questions to answer. The main text is separate from the Student Book so it can be read on the computer rather than printed if desired.

The Student Book includes student printables with the comprehension questions. It also includes the following optional bonus activities:

• Let’s Take a Closer Look: With this printable, your student can choose an animal or plant to do deeper research on. They can use the template to record the information they discover.

• Habitat Templates: This set of 13 templates allows your student to investigate the plants

template is also included for your student to research additional habitats if desired.

• Extension Activities: This set of questions challenges your student to go deeper on

page is included to record answers.

• Bonus Extension Activity: This bonus project suggests topics for a presentation related to the unit that your student can do and lists several options for the type of presentation, though the options are endless.

The answers to the comprehension questions can be found at the end of the Student Book. Answers to additional activities are not included as they will vary based on what your student chooses to research.

Lesson 1

AFRICA: THE MAGHREB Algeria, Morocco, and TunisiaThe Maghreb is an area of northern Africa that borders the Mediterranean Sea. It includes the countries of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. Because its habitats range from beautiful northern beaches to the Sahara, there is an abundant variety of plant and animal life.

Various types of wild sheep and wild boars live in the Maghreb, as well as Barbary deer and

the Maghreb as they migrate. Sahara animals include gazelles, fennecs, hyenas, jackals, gerbils, and desert hares. Scorpions, horned vipers, and cobras are a threat, and massive swarms of locusts plague the area at times.

Did you know that the fennec is the world’s smallest kind of fox? It is only about 8 inches (20 cm) tall at the shoulder and weighs just 3 pounds (1.35 kg). It has enormous ears, though, which grow about 5 inches (13 cm) long, nearly as long as it is tall!

Lesson 2

AFRICA: THE SAHEL Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and NigerThe Sahel is a dry grassland that separates the Sahara from the tropical savannas in the south. It’s very dry but sometimes gets terribly heavy rains that severely damage crops. It includes the countries of Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger. Thorny shrubs, acacia, and baobab trees are common, and some types of crops like millet, cotton, rice, sorghum, yams, sugar cane, and groundnuts grow well in certain places.

The drier parts of Mali have various trees and plants such as baobab, down palm, palmyra, acacia, cramcram, and mimosa. The southern grasslands have trees such as cailcedra, kapioka, karite, and nere.

In Niger, there is not much that grows in the desert areas, but palm, mahogany, kapok,

sheep, and gazelles living in the country’s drier parts. The W National Park of Niger has more elephants than anywhere else in West Africa and the largest number of lions.

The southern parts of the countries farther from the desert are home to antelope, elephants, lions, hyenas, leopards, lions,

hippopotamuses, and cranes live in or near the lakes and rivers.

Lesson 3

AFRICA: NORTHERN AFRICA Egypt and LibyaBecause of the rich soil deposited in the Nile Valley and Delta area of Egypt each year, many crops grow exceptionally well, including cotton, corn, onions, potatoes, rice, sugar beets, sugar cane, tomatoes, wheat, apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, watermelons, dates,

The moist areas of Libya near the coast and the Akhdar Mountains are home to many kinds of plants, including the asphodel (a type of herb), jubule, juniper, lentisc, and many kinds of grasses. The steppes that receive less rain have some areas with hardy grasses and shrubs.

Animals in Libya include the desert hare, jerboa, hyena, fennec, red fox, jackal, skunk, gazelle, adder, krait, wild ringdove, partridge, lark, prairie hen, eagle, hawk, and vulture.

Lesson 4

AFRICA: EASTERN AFRICA Sudan and South SudanAgriculture is a large part of Sudan’s economy, though the country is very poor. Farmers grow bananas, cotton, dates, gum arabic, mangoes, millet, onions, groundnuts, sorghum, sugar cane, wheat, corn, barley, sesame (for sesame seeds), and other crops. Still, most are barely able to provide for the needs of their families. They also raise camels, cattle, goats, donkeys, poultry, and sheep. People harvest Nile perch from the Nile rivers, and

region supports little plant life. Farther south, the savannas support rich grass, baobab trees, and numerous acacia trees. The Acacia senegal species is the source for gum arabic Sudan exports around the world for use in candies, medicine, adhesives, and more.

Plant life in South Sudan is similar to that of

animals. Its savannas and woodlands are popular places to spot zebras, gazelles, oryx, cheetahs, vultures, cranes, Congo lions, colobus monkeys, bushbabies, marabou storks, kobs, Defassa waterbucks, Nubian

hippos, crocodiles, majestic elephant herds, white-eared kobs, and shoebill storks.

Lesson 5

AFRICA: HORN OF AFRICA Eritrea, Djibouti, and SomaliaElephant grass, as well as some shrubs, grow well in the hot and dry parts of Eritrea, and acacia trees can also be found. Farmers grow barley, millet, sorghum, pulses, wheat, and a

gazelle, giant mole-rat, and leopard all make their home in Eritrea.

Djibouti has almost no natural resources, and the land is very inhospitable. Most of the nation’s food supply has to be imported, though there is some livestock herding of animals such as sheep, goats, and camels. A limited number of vegetables such as tomatoes as well

are rich in animal life including tuna, barracuda, and grouper.

Most of the agriculture in Somalia relates to raising livestock rather than farming, though farmers in some places grow sorghum, maize, sesame, sugar cane, cowpeas, and some fruits and vegetables. The rich land near the Jubba and Shabelle rivers support banana, sugar cane, rice, cotton, vegetable, grapefruit, mango, and papaya crops. Livestock including goats, sheep, cattle, and camels are common.
