For our next project, we will be studying the water cycle. We will be using a Web Quest to take us on the journey of exploring this natural event. The Web Quest will link us to different Internet sources which will provide us with diagrams and written text to help us learn more about the process of the water cycle. Once our research is concluded, we will be going onto Frames and will create a movie showing how the water cycle works.

Our Project... How you will be graded...

Day 1: Today we will be using the Internet to do some research on the biome that you chose. We will focus on finding some __characteristics__ and interesting facts about your biome. Be sure to include where it is __located__ and the __animals__ that live there.

Click on the link below to begin your search!



Day 2: Today we will be exploring sites that will teach us about food chains. We will watch a [|BrainPOP]movie and even get to play some [|games]. Remember that the food chain begins with a producer. Don't forget to make sure that the food chain you are creating is one that fits in with your biome. Have fun!

Day 3: Today we will investigate an animal from your biome a bit further. We will have to think of appropriate "key words" to help conduct a search to find out how the animal you chose adapted to lived in its environment. We will be using the following Internet search engine to help us search... [|www.redz.com].

*When you are done, go back and make sure that all of the sections for Days 1 and 2 are complete. If you have completed all of the tasks so far, then you may check the sites below for more information and fun!

Day 4: Today is our last day of gathering information for our Power Point Presentations and it is also the day you have all been waiting for. Today you will be able to create your own animal at [|SwitcherooZoo]. There are a few things to remember as you are creating your animal. The first is that you need to select a background that matches the environment of your biome. Second, you will need to explain your reasoning for selecting the head, body, and legs for your animal as well. Keep in mind that your explanation should inform us of why and how your animal can live and survive in your biome. Once you are done, you will learn how to take a snapshot of your computer screen and save it to your folder.

We will be hunting for facts about the rainforest. We will click on the links provided which will take us to a site full of information. We will then need to search for the information needed to complete a series of questions. Good luck!
