What is ZooKazam?
- ZooKazam is an educational AR (Agumented Reality) application that allows students to learn about animals as well as witnessing virtual animals popping out of piece of paper in a photo realistic 3D animation. Students can also change the weather patterns on their virtual screens. While students are observing their virtual animal, they can listen to different features about the animal, fun facts, and information about the animal's habitat.

Benefits of Using This App:
- There is a large variety of Augmented Reality animals to use from whales to insects. There are even dinosaurs that can be used. The list is updated regularly so this makes it super easy to find what you are looking for.
- ZooKazam offers models of incredibly high quality. They are animated, accompanied by natural sound effects and include some striking visual detail.
- There is detailed information given about the animals that you are using and you can change the climate of the animals.
- The most obvious benefit of augmented reality in education is that it changes the way that students interact with their world and in turn; the way they learn their subject content.
- ZooKazam is bringing animals and the imagination of children to life with their educational and engaging app. It features more than 40 holographic and interactive animals that are coupled with information about each animal and environmental scene selections

Activity: Have students pick one of the environments that we discussed previously in class (rainforest, swamp, dessert, ocean, mountain ranges), and then they will choose animals in the app that would live in that particular environment. After each student has chosen their environment and animal, we will share all the different choices with the whole class. There will be a class set of iPads for students to use.

Activity: The students will be grouped by the teacher. Each group will be given a location to use and will have to show examples of animals that form groups to survive in that habitat (bees, school of fish, zebras, ants, etc.). Each group will share with the class once they have completed this activity. We will look at the different factors between the different groups of animals.
