Introduction:

You are going on a creature safari.  You can choose to visit any continent on the earth.  While on your continent, you will choose a creature on which to report.

Your task is to gather information on the creature of your choice.  Fill out the data sheet and then create a way to share your information. You might want to write a newpaper report, make a poster with a picture of your creature and the information, or just write a report with a picture of your creature and everything you learned about it.

1. First, click on the web site below under resource.
2. Next, click on the continent of your choice.
3. Then, select an animal and take notes on your data sheet.
4. Now, decide on a way to share your information (See three possibilities above.) and create your presentation.
5. Finally, give your presentation so everyone else can learn, too.
