Wordly Wise - Lesson 7

Combining Internet Research With Math!

Today, everyone will work on creating an Animal Fact Book and this will require doing research using the National Geographic Kids Website.  You will need to find the following information for 4 different animals. WRITE THIS INFORMATION WITH A PENCIL IN YOUR BOOK PAGES.

1. Habitat
2. Diet (what does it eat)
3. A fun fact

The animals you will research are:

1. Horse
2. Rhino
3. Elephant
4. One (1) animal of your choice, but it must weigh more than the bear!

You will need to save an image of the animal of your choice. Save it in your personal folder and then we will insert that image into your book.

If you have time, you may add a cover to your book.  The blank cover is saved in your personal folder (Start button/Computer/double click on your last name first initial).
