They will learn what their mammal looks like, what they eat, natural predators, where they live, and their life cycle. Summary: Students will use a webquest to research a mammal of their choice: Monkey Dolphin Polar Bear Panda Bat IMPLEMENTATION Learning Context:   Procedure: 1. Open web browser, type in http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~hd25/webquest. 2. Read introduction. 3. Click next (link to task). 4. Read objectives for task, choose mammal.

Students understand the characteristics of living things, the diversity of life and how organisms change over time in terms of biological adaptation and genetics. Students understand the interrelationships of matter and energy in living organisms and the interactions of living organisms with their environment. • Grade Range : FOUNDATIONS (Grades 1-3) • Key Idea/Concept 4SC-F4: Identify characteristics of plants and animals (including extinct organisms) that allow them to live in specific environments  Performance Objective PO 2: Identify adaptations of animals that allow them to live in specific environments • Subject : Technology • Standard 6: Technology as a tool for Problem Solving and Decision-making. Students use technology to make and support decisions in the process of solving real-world problems. NOTE: Problem solving is inherent in all disciplines. See Science 3SC in its entirety and Workplace Skills 3WP in its entirety • Grade Range : FOUNDATIONS (Grades 1-3) Students know and are able to do the following: • Key Idea/Concept 6T-F1: Use technology resources for problem solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities • Performance Objective PO 2: Based on a problem selected by the student, use technology to: Detail: a) collect data Detail: b) interpret data Assessment/Rubrics:
