Students will research, organize and create multimedia presentations resulting from their investigation. Animals are classified according to specific characteristics.
Animals have different structures which serve different functions to precipitate existence.
The students will fill out an electronic research form documenting the data gathered. They will also complete a slide planner indicating the order of each presentation to be completed in Hyperstudio. Finally, the class will create a database of the information gathered. Students, as a class, will brainstorm a variety of animals from which to select for investigation. Students will select and investigate animals in groups of 2 or 3.
