Puppet Pals Migratory Animal Project!
Hello Everyone!
As you research your migratory animal and create a presentation on Puppet Pals to show your knowledge, please find out the answers to these questions:
- What is the name of your animal? Common name, scientific name, family/genus/class if you know about this.
- What does your animal look like? What adaptations (features of its body) help it deal with the habitat and biome it lives in?
- Where does your animal live? (Biome and habitat; specific location on map)
- Where does your animal travel to as it migrates? What is the migration route? What biomes does it travel through and to? What direction does it go on the map? (Good idea to get a map out and chart the route, as you will need to put the route in your presentation and up on our large, class map.)
- What does your animal need to survive? Food/habitat/conditions
- What cue causes your animal to migrate? What type of migration is it? (use vocabulary from handouts and discussions in class)
- What is the life cycle of your animal?
- How is your animal important to the ecosystems it lives in?
- Is your animal endangered and why? Are there any problems with human activity bothering the animal’s migration route?
- Any other really cool and interesting facts about your animal?
Here is a basic Puppet Pals Instructional Video to get you started thinking about this technology tool if you haven’t used it already.
