This is a WebQuest designed for kindergarten students to address standards in the Life Sciences Curriculum.
In this quest, students will be collaborating with a partner to research a zoo animal they choose. They will search various websites, videos, and listen to songs to gain information about their zoo animals' features and habitats. They will be collecting and organizing information about their animals' features and habitats onto a graphic organizer as well as creating a diagram of their animals' features. They will then use the information constructed to add to a class Voice Thread with images and sound to display what they learned about their animal.
