Animal Adaptations Research Project

Description of Project

This project compliments Benchmarks Unit 3: Animal Adaptations. Once students have learned different key words such as habitat, climate, camouflage, adaptations and physical characteristics, students will choose an animal to conduct research on the habitat and adaptations of the animal and display what they know on a google slide. They are asked to insert pictures, change the font, background, find information from multiple sources, use bullet points and several other digital literacy standards as mentioned below.
